Afterwork

A novel about everything we keep quiet between emails, failed dates, and friends who save the day. 

If you’ve ever thought about quitting your job on a Monday, this book is for you. 

This novel understands what you mean when you say “I’m fine” with a cracked voice. What you swallow at work, what you hide on bad dates, and what you only dare to say in a 12:43 a.m. voice note. This is not self-help. It’s real help—the kind that arrives late, exhausted, and sarcastic, but arrives. 

Four friends, jobs they hate, a city that demands too much, and an afterwork drink that fixes everything—at least for a while. A generational novel about female friendship as a lifeline, about work anxiety, ambition, precarity, and emotional survival in a generation trapped between looking like everything’s fine and feeling like nothing is. 

A fresh, sharp, and deeply honest novel for those with workplace anxiety, increasingly terrible dates, and friends who somehow save everything. The novel that understands you better than your therapist—and charges less.
