內容簡介
《展信愉快，才怪》
上班好同事，下班不認識是Jolene的職場人際準則，只可惜公司那群煩人又無腦的同事從來不懂何謂邊界感。她的宣洩管道，是在每封信件備註裡偷偷夾帶(文字色彩設為白色的)職場牢騷。但這種小學生惡作劇似的拙劣手法，被抓包可想而知，等著Jolene的處分，是來自人資的職場敏感度訓練，以及更加嚴格的信件往來規範。
某天，IT部門出了大包—Jolene突然有權限瀏覽全部門的信件與私訊！她清楚自己該趕快回報這個資安大漏洞，但…可以一窺同事們的私密對話，誰又能拒絕呢？
公司準備裁員的消息傳到Jolene耳中，她決定要善用從這項漏洞中得到的一切資訊。計畫很簡單：討老闆歡心，並向人資證明她是在眾人之中脫穎而出的，公司的可造之材。但當她益發深陷於部門同事的私人信件與秘密，他小心翼翼、苦心維持的個人界線也開始模糊(尤其是和人資部門的Cliff)…
很快地，她馬上就必須面臨該維持現狀，還是向同事們坦白一切的殘酷二選一。
穿插各種笑到流淚的的對話與既視感超強烈的職場人間觀察，Natalie Sue這部笑淚交織的小說出道作，一針見血卻仍不失輕快溫柔地帶領讀者一窺藏於刺眼螢幕後的愛意與寂寥，以及對尋找歸屬與連結的渴望(即便再怎麼不情願)。

Would you want to know what your colleagues say behind your back?
Jolene certainly doesn’t.
She’s riddled with anxiety, depressed, and hates her coworkers. The less she knows about them, the better.
So when a catastrophic IT f*ck up grants her access to all of their emails and private messages, she’s initially horrified. The last thing she wants is to be privy to their sad discussions about dying desk plants and marital troubles.
That’s until, with job cuts looming, she realises the power this new-found knowledge gives her. And soon, Jolene uncovers a lot more than she bargained for…
