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.
