Introduction

“A digital age Edith Wharton . . . hilarious, exhilarating, and so, so clever.” —Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians

**
A Huffington Post, New York Post, Redbook and Metro Summer Reading Pick**


Just when Tara Taylor is wondering why she works so hard to meet impossible standards, she’s finally given a chance to break through the glass ceiling and justify six boyfriendless years of sacrifices for her career. Hook, the location-based dating app that’s made finding love—or just tonight’s companion—as easy as swiping right, decides to go public and Todd Kent, her old Stanford flame who’s now a consummate playboy and the investment bank’s darling, asks Tara to join his four-person team on the $14 billion deal of the decade. Getting involved with the dating app might have more in store for her than a bigger bonus. But those fourteen billion dollars are poised to change more than just Tara and Todd’s fate, and there’s more than money at stake. When the deal is thrown into a tailspin, each person’s relationships, morality, and sense of self-worth will come into question.

The Underwriting
is a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of six young hopefuls behind a Silicon Valley IPO that will launch them into the exclusive world of the über-wealthy—if it doesn’t destroy them first. Part juicy drama, part biting satire, and entirely entertaining, it reveals the savagery found beneath the surface of the new millennium’s high society.
