A global fever. An empty city. A girl just trying to finish her corporate onboarding manual.
Candace Chen isn’t exactly thriving, but she is surviving—grinding through her publishing job, ghosting through New York, and documenting her slow unravel on a photo blog. Then the world catches a fever (literally), and people start looping through their last routines until there’s nothing left but... echoes.
Now Candace is wandering a half-dead city, haunted by memory, capitalism, and the growing suspicion that she was already a ghost before the end of the world.
This one’s for the burned-out girlies, the corporate zombies, and anyone who’s ever thought, “Is this it?”
🧠 Satire? Sharp.
🌇 Dystopia? Eerily quiet.
💔 Vibes? Terminal.
📖 Condition: Gently used hardcover. Some shelf wear. Still radiates quiet chaos.
🫶 If you binged The Office during the pandemic, this one's for you.
