Reader review, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Meryem is twenty-five years old, drinks too much coffee, goes on dates with disappointing men and never says what she really thinks. She has just started her first job, in the head office of Supersaurio: the most important supermarket chain in the Canary Islands. As she makes the transition from intern, to temp, to arrive at the promised land of fixed employment - Meryem must contend with sexism, racism, job insecurity, and learn how to survive without losing your soul.
