50 Shades of Grey meets The Wolf of Wall Street in Wall Street Diva, which follows the tumultuous life of Jane Sohn, a smart and sexy Korean American, who ran away as a teenager from her abusive family in Texas and made her way to New York City to reinvent herself. Jane's left her painful past behind and climbed the corporate ladder to become a successful Wall Street executive. From the outside, Jane's life couldn't be more perfect. Married and living in the tony Upper East Side, on the fast track in her Wall Street career, and mother to an adorable three-year-old daughter. But nothing is ever as perfect as it seems and control freak Jane finds out that she can't control much of anything as her life heads towards one disaster after another. As she struggles through a divorce, a job loss due to a corporate merger, and having to split her time with her daughter, Jane turns to alcohol and sex for solace. Adjusting to her new single status and rediscovering her raw sexuality, Jane gets involved with Wall Street's most powerful men, including the CEO buying her company, the law firm partner negotiating the merger, and a married billionaire whose sexting addiction puts her at risk of losing everything. With the help of her best friends, Jane deals with Asian fetishes, one-night stands, horny hedge-fund managers, and a vindictive billionaire's wife out to destroy her. The drama seems to never end for Jane but will this diva finally have her happy ending?
Follow Jane as she navigates through the perilous jungles of Wall Street where money, sex and power rule.
I'm not sure why the author even put 50 Shades of Grey in her book...who is suppose to be Christian? Jane is no Anna in any shape or form. Every rich guy that mets a girl, does not make 50 Shades. Plus this book had more substance to me. Normally in life, you don't stumble into the office of a handsome, well built rich guy and met the love of your life, you have to get some duds first. Jane gets the duds.
Jane has many issues but she is also smart, funny and ambitious...which is why when she made stupid mistake I wanted to choke her. I was really talking to my Kindle saying, "no Jane, don't do it", "don't be stupid Jane", "go home Jane". The fact that the author had me so wrapped up in Jane's life is why I enjoyed this read. She was that girlfriend that keeps coming for advise and never does what you tell her.
I received a note from the author that this book will be revised, and the one I'm reviewing is now out of print. I thought it was a really good book, so I'm looking forward to seeing the changes that are made. I felt like I flew through it, so it definitely kept my interest.
