I Might Be in Trouble by Daniel Aleman

“I just finished Toronto author Daniel Aleman’s I Might Be in Trouble, in which a struggling gay writer wakes up next to his *now dead* Grindr date from the night before and hijinks ensue. Echoes of Yellowface, Weekend at Bernie’s and The Devil Wears Prada. I loved it.”—Jacques, Copy Lead, North America

Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams

"Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams is one of my favourite nonfiction reads in a while. Wynn-Williams shares an account of her time with Facebook as their first internal political manager. She started as a true believer in the platform and slowly realizes that reality of working for Facebook is different than her expectations. It is a page turner and must-read if you're interested in the topic."—Jimmy, Sales Operations Analyst

I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan

"Originally published in 1973 and recently revised (read: modernized, so farewell to the satin jumpsuits for the ladies which, IMO, is just a tragedy), I Know What You Did Last Summer is due for an adaptation this year so worth jumping on if you fancy getting ahead. Warning: the 90s (and latest) adaptations aren't that close to the source material as it's not a slasher book, and more of a suspense novel..."— Natasha, Content Sales Lead, ANZ & UK

No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson by Gardiner Harris

“I just finished No More Tears which is a deep exposé of Johnson & Johnson and it's so worth a listen. It's so thorough and well researched and my jaw literally dropped multiple times while listening.” Tiana, Industrial Design Lead

Caucasia by Danzy Senna

“I just finished Danzy Senna's debut novel, Caucasia (first published in 1998), and I really loved it. It is a coming-of-age story set in 1970s America. Two mixed-race sisters are separated when their activist parents split up and the younger girl is forced to go into hiding with her volatile white mother."—Anna, Industrial Design Lead
