From the bestselling author of Almond The Devil Wears Prada meets The Office in this witty
humane and ultimately transformative story of a group of young workers who rebel against the
status quo. Jihye is an ordinary woman who has never been extraordinary. In her administrative
job at the Academy she silently tolerates office politics and the absurdities of Korean
bureaucracy. Forever only one misplaced email away from career catastrophe she effectively
becomes a master of the silent eye-roll and the tactical coffee run. But all her efforts to
endure her superiors and the semi-hostile work environment they create are upended when a new
intern Gyuok Lee arrives. Like a pacifist version of V in V for Vendetta Gyuok recruits a
trio of office allies to carry out plans for minor revenge. Together these four “rebels”
commit tiny protests against those in more powerful positions through spraying graffiti
throwing eggs and writing anonymous exposés. But as their attacks increase the initial joy
they felt at the release becomes something more and Jihye and the others will discover the
beauty of friendship and the extraordinary power of unity against adversity.
