About this book
A young lawyer wakes up in the morning after a work gala with no memory of how she got home the previous night and must figure out what exactly happened—and how much she's willing to put up with to make her way to the top of the corporate ladder—in this "smart, compulsively readable novel" ( The New York Times ). Jade isn't even my real name. Jade began as my Starbucks name, because all children of immigrants have a Starbucks name.Jade has become everything she ever wanted to be. A successful lawyer. A dutiful daughter. A beloved girlfriend. A loyal friend. Until Jade wakes up the morning after a work event, naked and alone, with no idea how she got home. Caught between her parents who can't understand, her boyfriend who feels betrayed, and her job that expects silence, the perfect world Jade has constructed starts to crumble.For fans of Queenie and I May Destroy You, Jaded is a "raw, dark" ( Refinery29 ) account of consent, power, race, sexism, and identity in a broken society.
