“When’s Happy Hour?” by Betches • Book Review

Published: 23 Oct 2018 by Gallery Books
Format: Hardcover, 352 pages, English

★★★★ (4 / 5) My expectations for Betches’ new book on careers went something like this: “I’ll breeze through it, learn a little, and maybe enjoy some silly satire.” But When’s Happy Hour? gave me so much more. I laughed out loud at nearly every page and found their scenarios and suggestions extremely real and relatable.

What especially surprised me (in the best way) was the use of actual career stories from Betches founders Aleen, Jordana, and Sami. Plus, each chapter’s “Dear Betches” write-in has a helpful response written in true Betches fashion.

Don't believe that this book is really that hilarious? Listen to me #obsess over it in this episode of the "Currently Obsessed" podcast.

Ultimately, I suggest you pick up this book and jump to the career stage that most applies to you. Here are just a few of the helpful guides you might need sooner rather than later:

• Happy Hours, Retreats, and Work Events: How Drunk Should I Get?

• Dealing with Your Boss: Types of Managers and How to Manage Them

• How to Speak Like a Mature Adult and Not Sound Like You’re at a Frat Party

• Working From Home: Everyone Knows It’s a Joke

• Show Me the Money: How to Ask for a Raise

• Your Employee Literally Just Sucks: How to Fire Them Without Getting Sued
