About this listen
‘You're a stinkbug and they're worried if they come near you, your stench will get all over them and they won't be able to wash it off.'
When Edith and a select group of employees at Winked advertising agency are sent to Consequi, an elite three-day work retreat in the remote mountains, she sees an opportunity to impress her bosses and dodge an inevitable restructure.
But this is no ordinary corporate retreat. Trapped together in the revamped convent, the threat of mass redundancy looming over them, their phones confiscated and the team-building activities becoming increasingly extreme, the 'work family's' cracks begin to widen–and Edith has a secret that threatens to make her the office outcast: the stinkbug. When Edith realises there's something suspicious about Consequi, she's faced with a decision: conform and shut up, or accept stinkbug status and find out what's really going on.
In this wildly original and deeply unhinged story, Sinéad Stubbins turns her keen but empathetic eye on the lies we tell about ourselves in order to belong. Part anxious millennial fever dream, part searing workplace satire, this corporate gothic novel is perfect for fans of Yellowface, Nightbitch and Such a Fun Age.

Slow Burn
It’s a very good example of real-world group hysteria escalating. I wish it got weird much earlier. It was a little boring there for a bit. Pretty good story though, well written characters. I like how it unfolds, even if slow paced at first.
I also kind of wish it went further, but this was more believable. It's not really that 'unhinged', like described in the blurb & most big time reviews.
I have a crush on Mo. Una is hilarious. Guide Phillip is King. Eggs is a fantastic name for a dog.
Performance was very good.

Not sure if plausible
