    Great for a quick read!

    Entertaining view on the transition from one place in life to another and the trials and tribulations that go along with it. I loved that the author made it relatable to everyone, even if you aren't in the IT industry. Anyone who has ever been a part of a start up will love this! I wish it were longer though, because the beginning felt a bit rushed. I felt like I should already know the background on the characters, and couldn't really find myself absorbed in the story until halfway. Once I was absorbed, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I would definitely enjoy reading more from this author.
