Product Information

Perdie Stone only requires three things in life: Lucille, her lifelong best friend. Bananas, their cute rescue pug. And she was offered a coveted partnership position at her Charleston law company. This book had all the tropes you could think of: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, office romance and age gap. But it didn't give a strong impact.

And then the guy is a TOTAL sweetheart. He is solely focused on her and there are no OW/OM in this (though she both contemplates other men and thinks he might be with other women... he's not). He is not perfect. When she freaks out (which she sadly does a lot), he often will say something like "I won't be waiting for you forever", which, while true, is a kinda shitty thing to say to a woman you love. But I forgive him because he really would have waited for her. He just can't help it cause he really thinks she's worth it. Wan succeeds in exploring and fictionalizing the timely topics of sexism and racism in workplace politics in a fluent, thought-provoking, and compelling tale.” — Booklist In the eyes of her corporate law firm, Ingrid Yung is a “two-fer.” As a Chinese-American woman about to be ushered into the elite rank of partner, she’s the face of Parsons Valentine & Hunt LLP’s recruiting brochures--their treasured "Golden Girl." But behind the firm’s welcoming façade lies the scotch-sipping, cigar-smoking old-boy network that shuts out lawyers like Ingrid. A young attorney must choose between the prestige of partnership and the American Dream that she—and her immigrant parents—have come so close to achieving in this riveting debut. Chances to shine in front of Marty Adler didn't come along every day, especially not mere weeks before your partnership vote. "I'd love to be on your team, Marty."

Here was another thing about all the male attorneys I worked with. They all called me by my last name, Yung, instead of by my first name, Ingrid. I wondered if some of them even knew what my first name was. But I didn't mind this. I'd been in the corporate world long enough to know that it was a good sign. When they felt comfortable enough to swear like sailors around me, I knew I was finally in. A master storyteller...Wan paints a realistic and immersing portrait of the elite world of corporate law. She had me rooting for Ingrid's success and happiness from the first chapter.” — Real Simple Thank you to the author and the publisher, Carina Press & Carina Adores (Harlequin), for sharing an ARC of this book with me, through NetGalley! There is A LOT of sex in this book. The first two instances of sex don't even involved penetration. It was great. It is sex for sex but then it evolves to more emotional sex, the FMC even cries after they have sex once.

I would say this is Perdita stone’s story. A strong, bold lawyer she was nevertheless frustrated about the work place inequality. I never thought women had to go so much. At times it made me mad on behalf of all the ladies. A wholly engrossing behind-the-scenes look at real life behind the pomp, power and prestige of a high-powered law firm that wants to still play by a 1950s rule book.” — Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus, co-authors of Citizen Girl and The Nanny Diaries Dominic Sherwood as Jeff Murphy, an attorney who recently transferred from Parsons Valentine & Hunt's London office and Ingrid's one-night stand from 6 years ago The death of Bananas the Pug. It’s not that I think animals can’t die in romances. Beloved pets die and that can be a part of a character’s emotional arc. However, in this book it just felt kind of pointless.Friends' Star Jennifer Aniston Breaks Down In Tears Over The Thought Of Matthew Perry Dying In Resurfaced 2004 Interview The only reason this book wasn’t a 5 star read to me is because I felt the ending dragged on a tiny bit too long and yeah I would of liked a bit more romance. I mean who doesn’t lol. That’s really my only complaints.
