In The Coworker by Freida McFadden, Dawn Schiff is a quirky, socially awkward accountant who is incredibly predictable. She is punctual (arriving exactly at 8:45 a.m.), eats color-coordinated meals, struggles to read social cues, and is obsessed with turtles. She clashes with the glamorous top sales rep, Natalie, who views her as a nuisance.
