Description
In this sexy debut novel a high-stakes deal pitches the power of Wall Street against the savvy of Silicon Valley—until a young woman’s death threatens to topple it all.
The Social Network meets The Wolf of Wall Street in The Underwriting, as it takes you behind
closed doors into a post-recession world of sex scandals, power plays, and
underhanded dealings.
Todd Kent is young, hot, and on his way to the top of Wall Street when the
eccentric founder of Hook, the popular new dating app, handpicks him to lead
its IPO. Given just two months to pull it off, Todd and his investment banking
team—brainy Neha, party-boy Beau, and old college flame Tara Taylor—race to
close the $14 billion deal of the decade. It’s also the chance of a lifetime
for Tara, who sees her opportunity to break through the glass ceiling and
justify six years of sacrifices for her career. But nothing is what it seems in
Silicon Valley, and when tragedy strikes Stanford University’s campus, there’s
no telling where the sparks will fly.
Advance Praise
‘Miller’s debut novel reads like a salacious, ripped-from-the headlines tell-all of Manhattan’s young, wealthy, and uber-successful. From the very first page, I felt like I’d met these characters in real life: Todd, the hot, rich, d-bag banker; Tara, the striver perfectionist who can’t quite please everyone; Kelly, the good girl with a secret, and Josh, the creepy savant genius who just might change the world. What do they all have in common? A certain location-based hookup app that alters each of their lives in shocking ways. Get ready to settle in—you won’t be able to put down this book.’—Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada
‘The Underwriting offers a tantalizing glimpse into the boardrooms and bedrooms of the young financiers and entrepreneurs behind a Silicon Valley IPO. Both a corporate thriller and an exposé of two generation-defining worlds, I found it both sexy and smart. I was hooked from start to finish.’—Cristina Alger, author of The Darlings
‘The Underwriting rolls out an irresistible tale about those narcissistic characters you read about who ride the waves between Wall Street and Silicon Valley and inflict us all with their dreams of riches and fame.’—Bruce Porter, author of Blow
