Not Working by Lisa Owens

Recommended by Cosmopolitan and described as the Millennial equivalent of Bridget Jones, this book is actually the equivalent of reality TV. You get engrossed really quickly but you don't actually gain anything from it.
It's about a girl who decides to quit her dead end job to truly find her career. It started off well, written in sort of diary style entries but without any dates or times about her random train of thought, procrastination at its finest, her relationship issues with her live in surgeon boyfriend and mother. Initially I found it quite relatable (unemployed, lost career wise, queen of procrastination myself!), a nice fluffy read but then it ended fairly abruptly. It just left me feeling very meh. Reviews called Lisa Owens as a comedy genius but I really didn't get it. I'd pass on this.
