As far as Jolene is concerned, her interactions with her colleagues should start and end with her official duties as an admin for Supershops, Inc. Unfortunately, her irritating, incompetent coworkers don’t seem to understand the importance of boundaries. Her secret to survival? She vents her grievances in petty email postscripts, then changes the text color to white so no one can see. That is until one of her secret messages is exposed. Her punishment: sensitivity training (led by the suspiciously friendly HR guy, Cliff) and rigorous email restrictions.When an IT mix-up grants her access to her entire department’s private emails and DMs, Jolene knows she should report it, but who could resist reading what their coworkers are really saying? And when she discovers layoffs are coming, she realizes this might just be the key to saving her job. The plan is simple: gain her boss’s favor, convince HR she’s Supershops material, and beat out the competition.But as Jolene is drawn further into her coworkers' private worlds, this slow burn office romance begins to heat up as her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble—especially around Cliff, who she definitely cannot have feelings for. Eventually she will need to decide if she’s ready to leave the comfort of her cubicle, even if that means coming clean to her colleagues.Crackling with laugh-out-loud dialogue and relatable observations, I Hope This Finds You Well is a fresh and surprisingly tender workplace comedy about loneliness and love beyond our computer screens. This sparkling debut novel will open your heart to the everyday eccentricities of work culture and the undeniable human connection that comes along with it.

    I know what life I‘m supposed to live; I have Pinterest. Obviously, this isnt it.

    Wer würde nicht mal gern in der ein oder anderen Arbeitsmail schreiben, was er wirklich über die andere Person denkt? Jolene macht genau das. Um ihren Frust rauszulassen beendet sie die Mails an ihre Kollegen mit hasserfüllten PS Nachrichten - bevor sie die Schriftfarbe auf Weiß abändert. Naja, bis sie es einmal nicht tut. Die Quittung? Ein Antidiskriminierungstraining (wow, was ein Wort) und (ups, kleiner IT Fehler) Zugriff auf die Postfächer ihrer Kollegen. So erfährt sie nicht nur, was ihre Kollegen wirklich über sie denken und welche Geheimnisse sie selbst haben, sondern auch von bevorstehenden Entlassungen. Der Klappentext hat mich direkt angesprochen. Das Buch ist humorvoll geschrieben und auch die Entwicklung der Beziehungen zwischen den Charakteren war spannend mitzuverfolgen. Manchmal war es mir allerdings alles ein wenig zu chaotisch und ich hätte mir mehr Einblicke in Jolenes Vergangenheit, die offensichtlich eine große Rolle gespielt hat, gewünscht, um ihre Gedanken und Handlungen besser zu verstehen. Und auf was ich mich auch gefreut hatte? Mehr als zwei PS Nachrichten. Trotzdem ein gutes Buch für zwischendurch ☺️

    The beginning was slow, but sticking with it paid off. I never would have guessed where this book would end up :)

    Das war n ganz schönes Stück Arbeit mich durch das Buch zu lesen - die versprochene Office Komödie war es für mich leider nicht.
