3.0

I think I might have liked this better if I read it at once. Somehow, every time I put it down and picked it back up, I liked it a little less. I wasn't vibing with the humour, especially Fanny's name and her little nicknames. (Whoever names their kid Fanny Pack OR Wolf Pack should be arrested for child abuse, honestly.)

The base concept is interesting: it's all about software testing, only the software involves sex toys. A mix of professionalism and sex, which leads to awkward, funny, and probably super inappropriate workplace interactions. I also liked the videogame-developer plotline, and the guinea pigs were probably my favorites.
