The writing - ⭐⭐⭐
The story - ⭐⭐⭐
Overall - ⭐⭐⭐

I smashed through this in a couple of hours, and it was... Ok. It was easy to read, engaging and there were moments that properly tickled me, but I don't know how much I really enjoyed it overall. The lead Ellie came across as pretty manic all the time and everything she seemed to do just ended up in chaos. Once one thing went wrong, something else would then go wrong and it just kept ramping up, and up, and up, and up...! As a format it quickly became cringeworthy and tired and it didn't make me like her as a character, I kept finding myself thinking 'what now?!' as Ellie found herself in yet another ridiculous situation she kept making worse. You'll have to read it to find out if she sorts it all out in the end!

If you're looking for a quick and easy filler read this is perfect, I reckon it'll be good as a 'palate cleanser' book!

Fave quote - 'Rest assured I will not be using the word synergy again, and I apologise for even bringing it up once. It's one of those buzzwords that make me want to tear every follicle of my hair out, and every time it spills out of my mouth I want to punch myself for it. If I ever utter the word "holistic", you have my permission to hunt me down and do terrible things upon my person'

Fave moment - The bit on the bikes, I genuinely sat chortling my arse off.

The book leads you into a green world via office politics. We meet characters who try to get through life in a modern story based on going green. Their antics are very funny and we are introduced to some very oddball
people.. We find lying and deceit alongside camaraderie and jolly good fun. The green theme runs well throughout the book in many varied locations.
The only downside is some unnecessary swear words. The book is able to stand without rudeness...
