Call me cynical but I feel Ingrid Yung, all along, is not as innocent as the author tries deliberately hard to portrait. It actually makes some of the plots unbearably naive because the author tries too hard to justify Ingrid's innocence.
評分對華裔美國女性這樣的雙重minority在白人男性社會中生存的心理描寫很到位。某些地方的幽默感也非常可愛。整本書很有好萊塢電影即視感。結尾的happy ending有點boring和naive.
評分So relatable that it hurts。平時不覺得,但是每次到公司all hands還是一群深色西服的男性占據整個場子。公司全球閤夥人中女性可能不足10%,Minority就是雙倍的心酸瞭。雖然大部分時候都很好,但是就是有一些工作和生活上細節總是在提醒著自己是一個少數裔女性。
評分很實在地指齣瞭很多minority,尤其是minority women在law firm的很多問題。 寫的很現實但很有共鳴。除瞭結局有點齣乎意料。

HELEN WAN is Associate General Counsel at the Time Inc. division of Time Warner Inc. Before that, she practiced corporate law and media law at law firms in New York. Born in California and raised near Washington, D.C., Wan is a graduate of Amherst College and the University of Virginia School of Law. Her essays and reviews of fiction have been published in The Washington Post and elsewhere. She lives in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, with her husband and son..
In the eyes of her corporate law firm, Ingrid Yung is a "two-fer." As a Chinese-American woman about to be ushered into the elite rank of partner, she's the face of Parsons Valentine & Hunt LLP's recruiting brochures - their treasured "Golden Girl." But behind the firm's welcoming facade lies the scotch-sipping, cigar-smoking old-boy network that shuts out lawyers like Ingrid. To compensate, Ingrid gamely plays in the softball league, schmoozes in the corporate cafeteria, and puts in the billable hours - until a horrifically offensive performance at the law firm's annual summer outing throws the carefully constructed image way out of equilibrium. Scrambling to do damage control, Parsons Valentine announces a new "Diversity Initiative" and commands a reluctant Ingrid to spearhead the effort, taking her priority away from the enormous deal that was to be the final step in securing partnership. For the first time, Ingrid finds herself at odds with her colleagues - including her handsome, golden-boy boyfriend - in a clash of class, race, and sexual politics.
It hit me. It made me think and doubt; it excited me and made me shiver. The best kind of novel. Sometimes Ingrid's rage bewildered me - maybe you do need to armor yourself by your weakness and then no one can truly hurt you. My least favorite part of the...
