Very Bad Company

Caitlin Levy is at the top of her career as an executive event planner. When she is offered an obscene salary to move to trendy tech company Aurora, she can’t pass it up, even though the job description is nonexistent and the CEO is a Churchill-obsessed narcissist. Caitlin must head to Miami for the company retreat before officially starting in her new role, with no idea of the chaos and looming secrets that await. Rosenblum follows up her best-selling debut, Bad Summer People, with a takedown of people behaving badly in a cutthroat high-tech world. Narrator January LaVoy delivers the goods, embodying the full cast of conniving and dysfunctional Aurora executives as they scheme their way through the annual retreat. LaVoy has an impressive ability to uniquely portray characters who have similar motivations. Her pacing and deft narrative change-ups, from sycophantic executive assistant Madison, who is still trying to shake her Southern lilt, to egotistical tech bros, make this already compelling novel a bingeable treat.
