Jess is an absolute fool and should’ve dumped Josh ages ago. Great book though

I know everyone is reading Yellowface but I think this is a superior book about race and the workplace (in this case the banking/trading industry). There’s also a camouflaged rom-com within its covers steeped in satire. It’s so good. There is one beat too many but otherwise I adored this book. I read it because Meg Mason and Curtis Sittenfeld endorsed it so if you don’t trust me, trust them. Ignore the awful cover. Read this one. Nothing’s fine.
