"A novel about a young woman trying to succeed in Hollywood without selling her soul. With electrifying prose and a darkly humorous voice, NSFW is an unflinching exploration of the grey area between empowerment and complicity, and an unforgettable portrait of what success costs in today's world"-- From the outside, the unnamed protagonist in NSFW appears the vision of success. She has landed an entry-level position at a leading TV network that thousands of college grads would kill for. And sure, she has much to learn. The daughter of a prominent feminist attorney, she grew up outside the industry, better versed in gender dynamics than box office hits. But she's resourceful and hardworking what could go wrong? At first, the high adrenaline work environment motivates her, yet as she climbs the ranks, she confronts the reality of creating change from the inside. Her points only get attention when echoed by male colleagues. She hears whispers of abuse and sexual misconduct. Her mother says to keep her head down until she's the one in charge a scenario that seems idealistic at best, morally questionable at worst. When her personal and professional lives collide, threatening both the network and her future, she must finally decide what to protect: the career she's given everything for or the empowered woman she claims to be.… (plus d'informations)

Great read. Kaplan really captures the ambivalence and tension of being of feminist with ambition in a patriarchal workplace/world. The mother-daughter storyline is also compelling. I did wish, at some points, to see the character of Gemma further developed. Or maybe I just wished that the narrator had a better friendship with her.

Thank you to Henry Holt & Co and Netgalley for the ARC.

Milk Fed meets The Devil Wears Prada?

A solid debut about the inner conflicts we face as feminist women trying to succeed professionally. I was really rooting for the narrator, and both loved and hated how much I related to her sometimes. She navigates a new job, her own mental health and that of her mother, interpersonal issues with friends and men, and body image. There were moments when she was grappling with the inherent hypocrisy of trying to get ahead as a woman in a man’s world when I wanted to shout YES THIS IS SO TRUE AND SO FRUSTRATING!

Some issues with fleshing out the secondary characters, and the prose tended towards simplistic, but absolutely worth a read if you’re interested in the themes.

Trigger warnings for sexual assault/harassment. ( )

This is a novel of privilege and entitlement, of what a degree from Harvard doesn't do for a directionless women with a missing father and an obsessively smothering mother. It should be yuckier than it is, and less sympathetic, but the writing is really good and the story is very suspenseful, until it isn't. The unnamed protagonist lands a peon job at the third runner-up TV network, due to her lawyer mother's friendship with the big boss. She learns how to maneuver and manipulate, how to cope with her self-loathing and her (well-deserved) feelings of uselessness, and how to swim faster than the other sharks. Eventually, the management gets "#METOO'd as the narrator holds back from reporting her own experience with sexual violation at work, and her mother, previously acclaimed for defending women in sexual harassment suits, inconceivably steps in to defend the guilty, rationalizing by blaming her daughter’s job security. It’s an empty calorie page-turner. ( )
