Reply All and Other Curses

Three women. One terrible boss. A little magic. Probably. Stevie Vance is tired of being indispensable. Priya Desai is tired of being asked to make numbers say things they don't. And Rowan Pike is tired of being told to "make it pretty" by a man who wouldn't recognize her expertise if it arrived in a PowerPoint presentation. They all have the same problem: Douglas Riegel. After one particularly brutal week, the three coworkers decide to take back a little power. Nothing dangerous. Nothing permanent. Just a harmless bit of witchcraft designed to let their boss experience what it feels like to be ignored, humiliated, and powerless for once. Call it karmic assertiveness. Then things start happening. Douglas's technology rebels. His carefully controlled office stops behaving. Coincidences pile up. And suddenly Stevie, Priya, and Rowan have a much bigger question than whether their improvised curse actually worked. Because something is very wrong at Alder & Finch—and this time, it isn't magic. As suspicious invoices, changing records, and office secrets begin to connect, the women realize the boss they've been trying to curse may have been hiding something far more damaging all along. Funny, witchy, and sharply relatable, Reply All and Other Curses is a contemporary workplace comedy about female friendship, terrible management, petty revenge, soft magic, and the dangerous power of comparing notes. Because sometimes taking your power back isn't about making someone else smaller. It's about refusing to shrink anymore.
