This book was something totally different to what I’ve ever read before - and I really loved that element.

I could totally relate to Meryem’s work situation from previous experience, and I think that’s what kept me captivated throughout. I found her character development and self-recognition brilliant!

I have to say, I was disappointed with the ending, which is the main reason I gave it 4 stars - it felt too abrupt for me.

this book was so interesting and refreshing. i loved the title and the premise. it was such a unique book. because the focus was on a woman and her work environment and it didnt shy away on just what a weight that can be. i thought it was so well balanced between reading about her and what she went through having to enter that environment every day. the side characters all held their place well and their tone felt right i relation to the plot and our main character.
i really liked this book, it was different to my usual books and i cant really fix it into any box shape of genre which i think is really cool. i do like books that take me off somewhere new. if they are done well it can fill the book soul full of good satisfied subject matter.

This is not your usual story following the trials of Meryem who works for a supermarket in the Canary Islands but is enjoyable as she explains what it is like amid the drama of her family and working for a boss who seems to hate her.
It is a eye opener about how to cope with a toxic working environment every day and the reality of day to day routine.

A workplace drama written from the viewpoint of a young Spanish Moroccan woman and set in one of the less touristy areas of Gran Canaria. Unusual but relatable especially to readers who have worked in a toxic hierarchy. I felt for the protagonist very much, her individuality stifled.
