Thanks to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Madeleine Henry for the opportunity to read and review her debut novel - 4 stars for an intriguing glimpse into two very different worlds with interesting characters.
Allegra is an analyst at Anderson Shaw, the biggest firm on Wall Street. She's counting down until her 2 year mark, where she will receive her big bonus and can hopefully quit to pursue her real passion - yoga. But until that time, we get to see the crazy intense banking world, where everyone is expected to work 24/7 and still ask for more jobs. A contrast to the yoga world Allegra yearns for - a seemingly blissful calm place. However, not necessarily in this book as we see the cutthroat aspect of that business as well.
I enjoyed this book and its characters - just a breezy read with similarities to The Devil Wears Prada as far as bosses and pecking order go. The author writes this book from real-life experience - she worked at Goldman Sachs and also practices yoga. Her instagram feed of yoga positions astounded me!
