When you have to be a responsible adult and start working, it is a big change in people's lives. Being in the working world has its pros and cons and there are times when you can't help but feel tired, have a kind of crisis and say that's enough, I don't want anything else.
That is what Camilasbooks recommends for this Saturday. One that, she says, more than one person will identify with the situations discussed by Beatriz Serrano, the author of this book, who tells us the story of Marisa, a woman in her thirties who lives anaesthetized by tranquilizers and YouTube videos to endure the routines and sorrows of her daily life in an advertising agency.
Marisa hates work. However, she can't leave it: she likes pretty things too much.
It all starts when the protagonist has a meeting that has been organized by the company where she works and where she will spend a weekend with her coworkers, which seems horrible to her and the truth is that it brings her quite a bit of anxiety before arriving at this event.
The story, Camilasbooks points out, is an x-ray of the crisis of any person who works and all the fears that can arise when one is starting out: loneliness, the need to create connections, the need to go out, to create moments that allow you to reconnect or recharge your energies so as not to throw everything out the window.
"That's what the book I'm recommending to you today is about. It's a short novel full of humor and the truth is that it will make you have a very interesting and funny time, but it will also leave you with a feeling that will stay with you after finishing this story."
"When one enters the world of work, one enters with many expectations, with a lot of energy, with the desire to take on the world, but things do not necessarily work out that way or stay that way over time, because when one enters the workforce, one experiences a lot of changes, a readjustment in daily life and, above all, also with the expectations one has about the world in general."
Without a doubt, this novel by Beatriz Serrano is one that will make you laugh and have a good time, as well as leaving you with a feeling of recognition.
