This book was super unique. It is similar to Wolf of Wall Street or Industry on HBO. The premise is a young black man getting a job for a face-paced sales start-up, and he gets sucked in by his newfound love of money and power and screws over his loved ones and those who have always been there for him before he was powerful. There's also a focus on racial stereotypes and micro/macro aggressions in the business world.

I enjoyed the start/middle, but towards the end with the different "gangs" of sales people, I felt it was getting a little farfetched, but it still held my interest to the end!
