About this audiobook

Summary

Rachel Allen has spent a decade being professionally forgettable—an HR trainer at a beige insurance company in Columbus, Ohio, where even the motivational posters seem bored. But one panicked, brutally honest keynote speech at a regional business conference turns her into an overnight internet sensation dubbed "The Anti-Boss." Suddenly fielding consulting offers she's wildly unqualified to accept, Rachel discovers that going viral is easy—it's staying honest that might cost her everything.

★★★★★

I feel this was an amazing story about a woman working in a insurance firm for nine years and not one person except her boss and her friend Pam that knew her name. She always worked in an ordinary boring place with a boring life. I know that I loved the concept of a woman living the most boring life to becoming a viral sensation working at an expensive company for 3 months for content and views that taught life lessons.I recommend this to the ones that love to see change in people, lives, and realizing how important it is to always appreciate the little things not caring about fame or views.
