About this audiobook
A suspenseful, racy, and achingly honest story of the entangled lives of six young women and men as they take Silicon Valley's hottest dating app public.
Tara Taylor runs six miles every morning, never eats after nine p.m., is the first to arrive and last to leave the office, but is starting to wonder why she bothers. When her old Stanford flame, Todd Kent, asks her to join his four-person team handling Hook's IPO, the deal of the decade, she sees her opportunity to break through the glass ceiling and justify six boyfriendless years of sacrifices for her career. And the $14 billion dating app might have more in store for her than a bigger bonus. But that kind of money changes people. When the deal is thrown into a tailspin, Tara and five others will each find out just what they're willing to give up-love, family, integrity-to get to the top.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not being a person well versed in multi billion dollar business deals and high finance in general I would have believed I would be totally out of my element reading this novel. However, Ms. Miller has written the book in such a manner that even a business novice like myself could understand what was going on. Also, there is a murder spicing the story up along with many lively interpersonal relationships among the characters that lessen the focus on the business aspects which was fine with me. A great new author with a tremendous upside.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5We had casual sex in the 70's and 80's, but you either had to wait for someone to approach you or be bold enough to ask someone for a hookup. Now, with dating apps you can instantly see a number of possible partners in your immediate neighborhood with their rating attached right on your phone. Add to the mix a few career obsessed, cut-throat, hell-bent for success individuals in investment banking and a dating app company who wants to go public and you have the basis for this breakneck race to the bell. Who is real and who is phony? Is there any cap on the price you will pay to succeed? Who is going down? I read it in an afternoon. Fasten your seat-belt and put yourself in gear. My thanks to the author and Penguin's First to Read program for a complimentary copy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads. It was very hard to put down, fast plot and good characters. I didn't like the ending though, felt it left too much hanging and unexplained.
