A face-paced and easy read that features a powerful, no-nonsense female lead who nonetheless has her own set of relatable vulnerabilities. I feel that many women, especially those of a minority, can relate to Ingrid Yung as she battles for her position in a cutthroat corporate world which neglects diversity or the contributions that intelligent, hard-working women make but are often overlooked and overshadowed.

The end makes up (a bit) for the slow first two thirds. As a marginalised person myself this was extremely hard to read.
But I also wanna add: There is NO diversity without disability, and there is at least one character that should have at least mentioned disability once, because it was his fricking job.
