I absolutely loved this. I love true stories about rich people, they always sound like sci-fi. Carrie has a great voice and I found her so relatable. I found myself moving back and forth between feeling like she had the world in the palm of her hand (money, food, clothes, privilege's) and seeing just how much it was breaking her. It was a great reminder that abuse can look like anything. Highly recommend to anyone.

Was expecting something a lot juicier and drama-filled and something with new, unique insights into the billionaire lifestyle or behind-the-scenes at a hedge fund, whereas I don't think I learnt anything new here or that there was anything out of the ordinary to really mull on.
I think it's a compelling read/listen if you know nothing about the world of finance or hedge funds!

The personal interactions were very interesting, but it is a very opaque read for someone not already well-versed in the finance world.

I find it hard to believe that the author really thought the venture capitalist billionaire boss she worked for was philanthropic and kind in anyway. She lost her autonomy and self-esteem when she worked for him as his personal assistant. At least she acknowledged that she got caught up in the ideals of the boss and the business. I'm glad she quit shortly and rebuilt her life slowly but surely.
