Life can’t go on like this – can it? This book is for everyone who has ever wanted more: more time, more meaning, more connection. A sexy and hilarious Spanish bestseller, where a young woman's office persona threatens to crack when she’s forced to attend her company’s annual retreat. 'Hilarious' Daily Mail 'A wild ride' Express 'An impressive new comic talent' Daily Telegraph On the surface, Marisa’s life looks enviable. She lives in a nice apartment in the heart of Madrid, her friendly neighbour and lover Pablo lives downstairs, and she’s risen quickly through the ranks at a successful advertising agency. And yet Marisa hates her job and everything about it. Over one hot summer she finds herself in danger of being exposed when she’s forced to deliver a talk on creativity at a horrendous team-building retreat. Surrounded by psychopathic bosses, flirty facilitators, and an excess of drugs, Marisa is pushed to the brink of a complete spiral. Discontent is a bold, biting novel about acting on our wilder impulses to reclaim our lives from work. 'Serrano writes with a caustic flair for detail, with charm and utter hilarity. Absolutely brilliant' Danya Kukafka, author of Notes on an Execution ‘I adored our heroine... A razor-sharp debut’ Anna Dorn, author of Perfume and Pain 'A love song to the listless and lonely of the LinkedIn age' Ariel Courage, author of Bad Nature
