I'm living in Australia, and the downturn didn't hit us as badly as the rest of the world. It hit, but not as hard. Like the author, I'm a database developer and job security has been thin. So I felt some connection there, and it is easy to see how quick a fall can occur.The issues over her family and the cancer resonated less with me. That's just a disconnect with my personal experience though, not a failing in the book.One issue that did jump on me was her description of Dr "Walinsky" whose daughter had an affair with a president. If you are going to substitute names in, then you can't leave obvious markers like that in.Oh and part way through the book, I looked her up on LinkedIn, just to see how it all turned out.
