I started reading this book after someone recommended it to me. It is a strange one. Written like a diary with office emails, doodles and photos in between to create a believable world where Janet doesn't like her photo. It just didn't pull me in. At least not the first time, I stopped after two or three chapters. A while later I looked at what ebooks I had with me and decided to give this one another chance.
I'm glad I did, "Deadlines don't care if Janet doesn't like her photo" feels like watching "The Office", except instead of selling paper, they're a design agency. Thorne's portrayal of agency work is mostly spot on, at least from my experience. Some chapters are hilarious, other jokes just didn't work for me. I think comedy is hard to do in a book, David Thorne has managed to write one that I'd recommend. Maybe I was just in a silly enough mood when I read it the second time.
