书籍介绍

Nicole Palmieri is married to her job. As a user experience designer at Virtuality, an artificial intelligence company in Los Angeles, Nicole is at her desk from sunrise to sunset. She doesn’t have time for a social life (or a love life), but that’s perfectly fine with her. Until her best friend, Parisa Shahin, announces her engagement and asks Nicole to be her maid of honor.

That’s when Nicole decides to meticulously schedule out the next six months of her life―from her project due dates to her dress-fitting appointments to how many hours she plans to sleep each night. If she can stick to her schedule, she’ll balance everything fine. Of course, that’s a really big if. And after she crosses paths with emerging restaurateur Brandon Phelps, Nicole is feeling feelings she hasn’t felt in…well, ever. But scheduling time to fall in love might push even the most meticulous plans into pure chaos.

Kristin Rockaway is a native New Yorker and recovering corporate software engineer. After working in the IT industry for far too many years, she finally traded the city for the surf and chased her dreams out to Southern California, where she spends her days happily writing stories instead of code.

资本主义大厂996实录 不愿出坑的心态社畜们都有亲身体验 两小时车程还好了不算远吧 这又是侧面黑加州交通嘛! 婚礼这条线也是好闹心 不过点过名的店是否值得为Vegas之行学习一下!
三星半?情节没啥新意。不知道美国是不是真有加班这么疯狂的公司。
资本家pua果然可怕,适合影视化
主要就是讲主角如何同时应对处理伴娘事宜、恋爱关系和职场升职。本来买这本书,是想参考下如何做时间管理,但整个阅读过程中根本无法代入,读完也没有什么收获。有时看着书里说的所谓的忙碌焦虑我都想笑:资本主义对压力的想象还是太有限了。尤其是工作篇的部分,从加班文化,到吹捧公司多么多么厉害,然后谈离职时又说“I’d have to rebuild my reputation from scratch, demonstrate I was a dynamic and dependable employee”,让人根本无法对这个花了大量篇幅描绘的公司产生完整一体的印象。其实我觉得很多小说都有这种问题:用最简单粗暴的段落去输出一种观点,试图说服读者,但由于细节往往过于失真,导致读者根本没法感同身受。
