What a great behind the scenes look of what happens on Wall Street and a glimpse of how it was before our latest financial meltdown and as it was going down. I experienced it while in the workforce and felt the impact at my former job, but didn't even think to see it from inside the belly of the beast - on Wall Street.

Beautifully written. Fun, funny and a cool look at the inside of Wall Street. I recommend it.
Similar to "The Devil Wears Prada" but with a less whiny protagonist. (Full disclosure: I didn't like "The Devil Wears Prada.") Here, Alex doesn't think she knows it all, and the book isn't one long complaint. Enjoyed this as a light read.
This was the best novel I've read in a long time- interesting and laugh-out-loud funny! Alex Garrett is 22 and fresh out of college when she gets a job trading bonds at a big Wall Street firm two years prior to the financial meltdown of 2008. She learns her way through the pitfalls of being a newbie and a female in a sea of men! A terrific novel full of funny characters. I couldn't put it down!
