I have not read this book, but it popped up on social media a couple days ago (November 19-21, 2021). I neglected to screenshot or write the title down. What I remember is that it was a red book cover with two characters (male and female), and I think one was climbing a ladder along a bookshelf. I know the plot is about the two characters working at a bookstore. The owner of the bookstore announces financial struggles, with the possible need to cut employees. The two main characters decide to compete to see who gets the most sales by the end of the year, with the loser resigning. "The Holiday Switch" keeps popping up on my internet searches, but the plot of that book doesn't sound right. Does anyone know what book I'm thinking of?
