A veteran of Wall Street, Erin Duffy knows her stuff and provides a credible view of the workplace for women in the world of investment finance. Alex, fresh out of college, has always dreamed of life as a bond trader. When she snags a job with a prestigious brokerage firm, she runs smack into the rampant sexism of its “boys’ club” mentality. Narrator Robin Gwynne’s voice is youthful, and as Alex and her friends, she’s right on target. However, her male voices lean heavily on stereotype and are unconvincing. Gwynne gives a perky, upbeat performance of the indomitable Alex, but since Duffy focuses more on interpersonal relationships than on the machinations of money, the book becomes more chick-lit than financial thriller.
