I just finished Help WAnted and I give it ✴✴✴✴✴.
Help Wanted is a serio-comic novel about a week or so in the lives of a group of people who work for a chain store (similar to Target) in a depressed town in New York state. The group of employees work in a department called "Movement" which is all about getting merchandise boxes off a truck and onto the selling floor. We learn a bit about the lives of the crew and how they ended up in Movement, and how they bond by the dislike of their boss, Meredith. When the store manager gets a promotion and Meredith is up for his job, several crew members are hopeful they might get a promotion and then join together to plot how to get their disliked boss the top job. Whether there can be 'movement' in their lives, or whether they are stuck in a dead end place, is the question that will be answered by this book. I really liked it.
