Another well-paced, well-written, quick and thrilling read by an accomplished author!
McFadden examines workplace toxicity and shows that it’s not just a bad day or two at work, it’s repeated uncomfortability that causes undue stress.
It’s not the stress that her sheets and pillowcase are two completely different colours that causes Dawn Schiff, the accountant for the Dorchester branch of Vixed, to have a bad day. Nor is it that some forbidden colour has snuck into her monochromatic meals. Dawn is simply uncomfortable in a workplace that is anything but inclusive.
She can tell her co-workers are simply pretending to be nice. They don’t really want to hear about her turtle obsession. So, she vows to take action.
Don’t let McFadden fool you! Things aren’t as they seem.
1) Enjoy the ride…and learn a fact, or two, or three, … about turtles.
2) Read time cues in chapter titles
3) Don’t get comfortable…it’s not that predictable.
Thanks for the chance to read this great thriller with a subtle message! I can't wait to see what's next for McFadden.
I was gifted this copy by Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

Thanks, Debbie! McFadden writes great books.

Confession: I've yet to read a McFadden novel. Will keep my eyes peeled for this one at the library when it's released.

I feel the same way about Elin Hilderbrand - I've yet to read one of hers! My friend took pity on me (shock, actually, that I hadn't read anything by the author) and bought me The Five Star Weekend. I hope to read it by the end of the summer.

Yes, keep in mind that this book is very different from her others. Maybe start with another one first to get her 'style'.

This one isn't typical of her style, so keep that in mind if you choose it first. Thank you.
