Hard Copy

This book was hilarious, and a little bit absurd and carefully and eccentrically captivated what it means to work in a corporate space. Will definitely be recommending.

Our character is a slightly unbalanced character who's past plays constant torment on her mind. She releases her stress by talking to her printer.

I enjoyed this book, I found the main character very easy to emphasize with, the author had a wonderful talent for show how pasts can haunt our current lives in unexpected ways.

I do think the ending was quite weak, it sort on lost me at the end, as it began rambling and a few characters storylines never felt rapped up to me. But I did really like it and would definitely recommend it, especially to fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation or Melissa Broder

An electric, hilarious takedown of workplace culture, class, capitalism and everything that goes along with it.

I was initially drawn in by the absurdity of the tagline ‘This is a story of girl meets printer’, the sensational cover - I have never seen a better cover - and its Halle Butler comparisons.

In the end, it exceeded my expectations and is solidly now among one of the best workplace novels I've ever read.

It walks the path of both the outlandish and the mundane in ways that made me puff out a laugh, roll my eyes in knowing, reflect and contemplate how I see and interact with the world around me.

The writing is fantastic, and wonderfully translated in a way which feels like it contains all the nuances and essences of the original text. It's at times witty and punchy, and others flowery and figurative, but above all it remains thoughtful.

I loved this one and can't wait to see what Veldman writes next!

Thank you so much Shannon for the chance to read!!

Okay so I know you're not meant to judge a book by it's cover but that is the reason I requested this book. And lord I was not prepared for the ride it took me on. A story of girl meets printer, what can you expect? EVERYTHING! It is emotional, funny, dark and yet you are just rooting for the narrator the whole time. I really fun, slightly weird book that everyone should give a chance. And yes, I'm caring much more for my printer now.

A book about a woman who develops an emotional attachment to the printer in her office, she slowly begins to reveal a secret from her childhood that still seems to haunt her as an adult.

This is a novel with some incredibly insightful opinions on the human condition. So beautifully written and I devoured it in one sitting.

This is one that will stick in my memory for a very long time and I will be recommending it to everyone! An excellent example of a "weird girl book".

This was such a strange and unique read, but I absolutely devoured it. The book reminded me a lot of Your Utopia by Bora Chung, as that focuses a lot on sentient technology too. I thought the way in which Veldman told this story was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
