知名律師事務所的#MeToo故事

艾莉頂著名校光環,順利進入曼哈頓知名律師事務所,她聰明、有野心,深信自己一定能獲得老闆青睞。事務所的工作量龐大,福利也很豐厚,但她發現要在這裡當贏家,不見得要有能力,而是要會玩手段…

 

內容簡介

  官僚的組織文化底下,一段關於性與權力的故事。
 
  艾莉(Alex Vogel)從小就是人生勝利組。學校裡的明星與體能健將,能讀會玩,羨煞旁人。在大學研習法律,最終錄取哈佛法學院。畢業後還拿到曼哈頓著名的律師事務所(Klasko & Fitch)的工作,晉升高薪一族。她也向交往已久的男友承諾,相愛的心不會改變,就算工作再忙也不會。
 
  這樣一個完美的新女性,美麗大方,活潑聰明。一入職場,深似侯門。到底是獨立女性,還是男人們的玩物?
 
  面對巨大的財富誘惑與精力旺盛的高富帥,可能改變一切嗎?
 
  極其自負的男同事們,很快便注意到初來乍到的艾莉。而艾莉也迅速地適應新環境,從中游刃有餘。不管是逗弄客戶的花邊玩笑還是沒日沒夜的應酬,身處全公司最具競爭力的收購與合併部門,艾莉忙得不可開交。雖然工作量龐大,福利也很豐厚,比方說週末去邁阿密旅遊、搭乘客戶的私人飛機、出入高檔餐廳由公司埋單…這樣的日子數也數不完。
 
  當客戶的要求與期待不斷提高,終於讓艾莉不得不面對現實。她生活中的男人只剩下同事,而她的青梅竹馬卻越離越遠。她開始懷疑自己的選擇,但世界並非非黑即白,也許為了達到目的,你可以玩很多種手段,但這一切似乎都是被操弄而且絕對不是設計給女性玩的遊戲。
 
  每當有重大事件發生,都直接導向暗黑的現實。艾莉明白,在這樣的染缸中,身為女性有多悲哀。面對明白而難以抗拒的潛規則,她該如何才能克服職場的難題。如今她不再沉默,她要讓一切昭告天下,震驚世人。

  Sweetbitter meets The Firm in this buzzy, page-turning debut novel--already optioned to Netflix--about sex and power in the halls of corporate America.

  One of Buzzfeed's Most Anticipated Books of 2020, Cosmopolitan's Best Summer Reads of 2020, and the New York Post's 30 Best Summer Books

  Alex Vogel has always been a high achiever who lived her life by the book--star student and athlete in high school, prelaw whiz in college, Harvard Law School degree. Accepting a dream offer at the prestigious Manhattan law firm of Klasko & Fitch, she promises her sweet and supportive longtime boyfriend that the job won't change her.

  Yet Alex is seduced by the firm's money and energy . . . and by her cocksure male colleagues, who quickly take notice of the new girl. She's never felt so confident and powerful--even the innuendo-laced banter with clients feels fun. In the firm's most profitable and competitive division, Mergers and Acquisitions, Alex works around the clock, racking up billable hours and entertaining clients late into the evening. While the job is punishing, it has its perks, like a weekend trip to Miami, a ride in a client's private jet, and more expense-account meals than she can count.

  But as her clients' expectations and demands on her increase, and Alex finds herself magnetically drawn to a handsome coworker despite her loving relationship at home, she begins to question everything--including herself. She knows the corporate world isn't black and white, and that to reach the top means playing by different rules. But who made those rules? And what if the system rigged so that women can't win, anyway?

  When something happens that reveals the dark reality of the firm, Alex comes to understand the ways women like her are told--explicitly and implicitly--how they need to behave to succeed in the workplace. Now, she can no longer stand by silently--even if doing what's right means putting everything on the line to expose the shocking truth.
