Atria’s concerns with the hardcover jacket design for Jennifer Weiner’s Then Came You:

  • Skirt color 
  • Hair style
  • Ugly desk

Things about which they are blithely unconcerned:

  • The terrifying geometries of their stock photography, making it seem as if the floor of this office lies at a forty-five degree angle to the surface of the earth. Or is she in a plummeting aircraft? Maybe it’s the future, and she is actually in the interior of a spun up asteroid, and those are screens meant to ease claustrophobia. Which explains the Future Desk. And the blouse. Nobody wears green on X-371, lest they be targeted by the security wasps, obviously.
