About this audiobook

A wife. A mistress. The friendship that saves them both.

When Silicon Valley venture capitalist Ryn Brennan sits down to close the biggest deal of her career, she never imagines finding herself face-to-face with her husband's mistress. But across the negotiating table is Carly Santos—the brilliant scientist and single mom seeking funding for her life-saving startup - a woman who's unknowingly been sharing Ryn's "perfect" husband.

What should destroy both their careers instead becomes the foundation for an unlikely alliance. As Ryn and Carly navigate the sexism in Silicon Valley's male-dominated world, they discover that supporting each other might be their best strategy yet.

Who says the other woman has to be the enemy?

I listened to the audio version of this book. This book was really powerful. The women in it take on a lying, cheating man who is determined to take everything from one of them and would have eventually done the same to the other. The two women who start as enemies (the boardroom scene still terrifies me) end up coming together to support each other. They also end up uniting to take on the sexism that exists in the tech industry in Silicon Valley. I loved the strength of the women that Cameron shows in this book. It is very timely that the characters are taking on the sexist pigs that alienate and intimidate their female co-workers. I also loved the softer side of the women that is shown in their personal lives and their friendships. That kind of friendship would be priceless. The story was well rounded and kept me wanting to listen all day. The narration by Susan Marlowe was superb. Her voice lent just the right classiness to these women. I was gifted a copy of this audiobook via the author. All thoughts are my own.
