Many thanks to NetGalley and WW Norton & Company for the opportunity to read the new book by Adelle Waldman - 4.5 stars!
At a big-box store in a small, depressed town in Upstate NY, the crew of Team Movement start their day before 4:00 AM to unload trucks and get merchandise out on the floor., leaving before the first customers appear. When an opportunity for a promotion comes up, the team decide to put a plan in motion to get their boss promoted to store manager, leaving her spot open for one of them.
I really liked this book and was instantly drawn into all these characters and their stories. The setting is a Target-like store in the age of Amazon, in a town where big business has closed and there are very few job opportunities. It's full of heart, dark humor, and will cause you to think about all those people behind the scenes that make our lives better. I felt for these characters - trying to better their lives in tough situations, not always making the best of decisions.
