Next in Line by T.W. Baker is a memorable literary novel that cleverly merges heartfelt work-related moments with messy ones. The story transforms a seemingly boring work environment—in this case, a pharmacy—into a vibrant setting where life’s quirky mistrials hilariously unfold. Baker's incredible writing style reveals that humor and absurdity can be just as captivating as action and drama. What’s refreshing is how the characters aren’t portrayed as failed heroes but as authentic and engaging individuals. It is like reading the literary version of the hit TV series, The Office. But in this case, it is actually centered around a lively pharmacy and its unconventional workers. Mik, Monika, Janice, Bronco, and Sammy are highly relatable and unforgettable. They may even remind you of pharmacy workers and assistants you might have interacted with over the years. If you're a fan of novels that depict comical work-related misadventures, unique personalities, and social connections, this book is the perfect read for you.
