Meryem is twenty-five years old and has just started working at the offices of Supersaurio: the most important supermarket chain in the Canary Islands. Watched over by the chain's benevolent blue dinosaur logo, Meryem contends with co-workers who don't mean to sound sexist, but aren't women just harder work than men?, a boss who seems determined to make Meryem's life as miserable as possible, and Omar - smart, funny, very-senior-but-nevertheless-seems-like-a-normal-person Omar, who also happens to be devastatingly handsome.\nWe follow Meryem as she makes the transition from intern, to temp, to arrive finally at the promised land of fixed employment - only to find that she might have left part of her soul behind. \n'My relationship with this book has been a bit like the friendships you make in the bathrooms of nightclubs. Meryem, I don't know you but I love you as if you were my lifelong friend'\n Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐\n'I want to meet Meryem for lunch'\nGoodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐\n'Down with work'\nGoodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50187263967520,"sku":"9781399734011","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781399734011.jpg?v=1780702484","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/checking-out-meryem-el-mehdati-9781399734011","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
