I just read this off your rec and gosh it was fantastic. So well-handled (the different viewpoints didn’t feel contrived or irritatingly opaque) and so devastating, because of course the worst enemy is the one that knows you best and says, this is what you really need. (it definitely reminded me of those moments like that in Stepford Wives)

And such an effective and biting metaphor! Lead Conditioners, argh.

The office politics were so painfully on point that they made me not want to entertain any sudden career changes to publishing.
