Raced through this, really interesting. Hadn't appreciated how the Glossier model was inspired by tech startups. It has a good arc but is also aware of the girlboss rise-and-fall narrative and pushes back on it in places. Feels the story isn't quite over yet though.
Increasingly thinking I enjoyed the ambience of MATERIALISTS so much because everyone treats their phones like it's 2005. Constant calls and voicemails. Not sure anyone sends a text, certainly not a tweet.
Come and get into the back-to-school groove with us next Monday. Get writing done + the option to workshop your work in progress with others. lu.ma/fjx59l3z
