I have zero interest in the law and find that stuff stressful but it was very exciting in this book form!!

I cleared my throat and said in the mellifluous voice I reserved for partners and clients, "Hi, Marty, how are you?" Per Deadline’s report, “the streamer had commissioned a writer’s room which was up and running, working on ideas for a potential second season.” 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. To compensate, Ingrid gamely plays in the softball league, schmoozes in the corporate cafeteria, and puts in the billable hours — until a horrifically offensive performance at the law firm's annual summer outing throws the carefully constructed image way out of equilibrium. Scrambling to do damage control, Parsons Valentine announces a new "Diversity Initiative" and commands a reluctant Ingrid to spearhead the effort, taking her priority away from the enormous deal that was to be the final step in securing partnership. For the first time, Ingrid finds herself at odds with her colleagues — including her handsome, golden-boy boyfriend — in a clash of class, race, and sexual politics.The death of Bananas the Pug.

There was a beep, followed by Marty Adler himself. "Ingrid, hello," he said. His voice was deep and growly, yet I had always thought there was something kind about it, too. I rather liked it. It also stated that the show was relatively cheap compared to other shows, but viewership was still not enough to warrant a second season. Comecei a ler este livro porque vi o trailer do novo filme da Netflix que vai sair baseado nele e adorei! The phone on her desk rang. Margo glanced at it and signaled to me that it was my line. I leaned one hip against the ledge in front of her desk and waited, rifling through my mail.

The search for a missing document and a surprise lunch date crank up the tension between Ingrid and Murphy. Rachel hits it off with a sassy new client. I loved the closing of every deal. I could feel the power and influence that coursed through these conference rooms like electrical currents high atop the city. I loved listening to closing dinner toasts at Jean Georges or La Grenouille at the very moment that gazillions of dollars, or yen, or euros, were originating from somewhere and landing, through the miracle of wire transfer, in our clients' bank accounts halfway around the globe. It was thrilling, the promise of such a world. These are all minor points in an engaging book. Wan writes heartfelt scenes with the protagonist's parents. Without giving away the plot, she also manages excellent shape-shifting with four or five characters as their foibles are revealed. Ao longo das páginas vemos Ingrid ser maltratada, menosprezada e discriminada tanto pelo seu sexo como pela sua etnia. Sinceramente, cheguei ao ponto de desespero só de ler as coisas terríveis que ela tinha de suportar, e de desejar que ela largasse aquele emprego infernal, porque honestamente ninguém merece. Fantastic female friendship. Perdie and her BFF, Lucille live together. They own their condo together. They are proclaimed to be each others person. Romantic partners are secondary to that.

This is the type of book every individual should read. It shows real-world, everyday experiences of a minority (especially a minority woman) in America in an accessible way: through a story in which you're genuinely rooting for the main character and, at least for me, identifying with the experiences Wan writes.

Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Louis Tomlinson: All Of Those Voices’ On Paramount+, Where The Ex-One Direction Singer Finds Himself As He Flies Solo Ok, this book was honestly, just what I needed. After I finished it, I dipped into Cat’s DMs to tell her how much I enjoyed and she said “I was just trying to write a good time.” And honestly? Yes. That’s exactly what this book was. Of course," Adler went on, "the client wants it done yesterday. This deal's on a rush timetable, so I'd need you to focus on it as your top priority. That is, if you're able to take it on." He paused a moment to let this sink in. He knew exactly what kind of opportunity he was dangling in front of me.

The banter and the games they play with one another are full of sexual tension, I love the workplace setting and will definitely be looking more into books with that! This is a MUST read for steamy contemporary romance fans 🔥

Wonderful," he said, completely unsurprised. "Why don't you come on up to my office, then, and I'll fill you in on the deal." Perdie Stone needs just three things in life: Her forever best friend, Lucille. Their adorable rescue pug, Bananas. And last but not least, a coveted partnership at her Charleston law firm. The dynamic of the characters, the plot was realistic and definitely things seen in certain workplaces. The spice was woah, definitely for mature audiences but the flow was great!

Both are dramas with legal aspects (although some would argue the show is more of a romantic comedy) with 10 episodes and are relatively close to each other in runtime. You know why??? It has the best romance tropes you can find in a book: forbidden relationship, one bed, working together, rivals to lovers … just great !!!
