The death of Bananas the Pug. It’s not that I think animals can’t die in romances. Beloved pets die and that can be a part of a character’s emotional arc. However, in this book it just felt kind of pointless.

Joy Behar Was Totally Lost On 'The View' As Whoopi Goldberg Tried To Make An Argument About Men And Abortion: "What Is The Point?" These are all minor points in an engaging book. Wan writes heartfelt scenes with the protagonist's parents. Without giving away the plot, she also manages excellent shape-shifting with four or five characters as their foibles are revealed. Disgraced 'Southern Charm' Alum Thomas Ravenel Fuming Over Craig Conover And Shep Rose's Kathryn Dennis Compliments at BravoCon 2023: "Total Losers"Stream It Or Skip It: 'Christmas at the Chalet' on Lifetime, Where Divorcée Teri Hatcher Explores Love, Purpose, and Skiing in Aspen Arden Cho as Ingrid Yun, a mergers and acquisitions lawyer who is trying to make partner at her law firm, Parsons Valentine & Hunt And then the guy is a TOTAL sweetheart. He is solely focused on her and there are no OW/OM in this (though she both contemplates other men and thinks he might be with other women... he's not). He is not perfect. When she freaks out (which she sadly does a lot), he often will say something like "I won't be waiting for you forever", which, while true, is a kinda shitty thing to say to a woman you love. But I forgive him because he really would have waited for her. He just can't help it cause he really thinks she's worth it.

As the book ends, the pair are still in the early stages of their relationship but are in a really good place which suggests Tim might be endgame if introduced in the series. Georgia Lee spoke to Deadline shortly following the release of season 1 and discussed where they’d head in season 2. Here’s some of the key points discussed: It’s a win-win situation and Perdie knows it… but struggles are struggles and the reader fights through all of them with her, hoping that one day she’ll realise … There is A LOT of sex in this book. The first two instances of sex don't even involved penetration. It was great. It is sex for sex but then it evolves to more emotional sex, the FMC even cries after they have sex once. A wholly engrossing behind-the-scenes look at real life behind the pomp, power and prestige of a high-powered law firm that wants to still play by a 1950s rule book." –Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus, co-authors of "Citizen Girl"Ingrid gets assigned to a new deal working with Marty Adler, a corporate partner and rainmaker at PV. She works late, poring diligently over the details of the deal, hoping her excellent work will continue to be noticed as election season of new partners approaches. While working on this deal, Ingrid also witnesses an offensive performance by other lawyers at an internal firm event and is voluntold to participate in the firm’s diversity initiatives, in a clear move of damage control by PV. Ingrid, the perfect Asian-American senior associate protagonist, makes a lot of questionable drank-the-Kool-Aid choices, and the story is flawed and predictable. There's fraternizing, yelling, sabotage, burned bridges, mentions of Above the Law (tee hee), poaching, eleventh-hour heroics and revenge. But despite the melodrama, I kept having visceral reactions - reading about this specific brand of law firm hell even in a fictionalized, dramatic form literally made my heart pound. In particular, there's a really sad scene where Ingrid thinks of all the war stories traded by her minority lawyer friends, and what her choice to be a perfectly palatable minority says about her. I damn near cried at several points (and also at the part near the end when her mom says simply, "I just wanted you to be happy").
