An easy to read, slice of life kind of book following Dahae, a young woman in her late twenties, attempting to survive the corporate office world of Seoul - working overtime to consistently be given middling performance reviews and no chances of raises or promotions. Dahae and her two friends Eun-sang and Jisong all dream of better opportunities and end up involved with cryptocurrency investment which could mean losing everything or shooting to the moon.

I quite enjoyed this book - as someone who has worked in corporate offices and also gone through the rigmarole of demoralising performance reviews that have less to do with your actual performance and more to do with what the company is unwilling to give to staff, I really resonated with a lot of the frustrations Dahae and her friends felt with their current work situation and I think anyone working and trying to just survive today can also resonate with the feeling of wanting more money, more opportunity, just something more. I know very little about investments and crypto so this part did go a little bit over my head but I was so tense for the girls as their investments rose and fell and I was just really hoping it would all go well for them.

I had some mixed feelings about the epilogue and wondered if we needed it but I also think it was a great opportunity for a full circle moment with Dahae and where she was, how she was feeling and what changed or didn't change with her from a year previously. I actually thought it was all very clever really - and really hammered home the point of the book and the characters. It's not necessarily that people want to be get rich and then do nothing, but just have that bit more so they don't have to struggle or worry quite so much or in Dahae's case, just get a nice apartment to live in!
