Thank you Atria for granting me an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own and are not influenced by the publisher. 

Amazing debut satirical financial thriller that plunges readers into the high-stakes world of hedge funds, power struggles, and the exploration of identity. Originally penned around two years ago, its themes resonate strikingly with current events. With twists that grip you from the outset, this novel is impossible to put down. Bonus: the unofficial “soundtrack” is also dope as hell.

Loved the continuation of this series.  Niall & Tammie’s story was everything I wanted and more. I can’t wait for book 4!.
