Status Updates From The Truth According to Ember

Ugh, the librarian tried to warn me I wouldn’t like this character and I thought she might be mistaken at the beginning but boy was she right, this miscommunication nonsense is super upsetting and I hate her for doing this nonsense to herself.

Girl, have a backbone you loser. You are robbing a bank. It will not be worse for you to be fired. I hate this woman

Girl, you’re getting distracted by the IT guy and going to end up in prison with your dad.

Girl, you’re about to be roped into embezzling from the company

So unprofessional

Thank goodness something interrupted another sex scene…

Just skip to the end of chapter 25, I don’t think anything important happens.

Ah, forced proximity and one bed, of course…

I feel like that picture is going to end up photoshopped in something given to HR…

There’s something fishy with this coworker being friendly like this…

Seems like someone dealing with the poverty levels described here would’ve already gotten themselves into credit card debt before this.

Really don’t appreciate all the swearing.

There are some benefits to this I’m sure, but being a personal assistant seems like a step back professionally compared to being an accountant.

Uh oh, happening this early it feels like plenty of time for her to be fired for lying on her resume or something.

Well I can see in the end the pregnant lady is going to give her a job while on her maternity leave.

That’s not how getting jobs work. Also it’s all a disaster waiting to happen since she isn’t actually an accountant… I wish I had a $50k starting salary with a single community college class…

Obviously he is her future boss.

Danowoa clearly sees right through every lie Ember says and is fine with her as she is, but she just doubles down and stubbornly keeps lying and it's stressing me out!

I'm not even halfway through this book and the FMC has been humiliated in front of the MMC for being stinky three separate times now. Three.

It is so cool.

“The job feels like a FaMiLy” 🤢

I’m not huge on the narrator’s use of the word “demented” but I’m holding out for now.

Needed to read something contemporary to break up the Frankenstein. But also crazy premise - do people really lie that much to get jobs?

I love Ember!

This is cute already! Perfect for Native American heritage month!

are job applications actually allowed to ask your ethnicity 🤔

I don't know if I like Ember with all this lying 🥲

Soo, if memory serves correctly, the woman who trained her said “yes I’ll be out on leave, but call me with any questions, I’m still here for you” and yet, she’s now panicking that she’s been asked to literally commit crimes, going “I have no one to help me” bitch! Yes you do! Call your trainer! Call Dan! They would actually help you

Soo, she gets caught kissing the IT guy (the only other indigenous person at work) by the nepo baby nephew who’s super sleazy and racist. And now he’s asking her to fix the books and fuck with the accounting to cover up shady things. What, she breaks one office policy and so clearly she’s okay breaking the law??

How is there 2.5 hours left??

It’s not getting any better. And I’m starting to think it’s kinda immature writing as well. I just struggle with an MC who’s a liar and like, optimistic to a fault
