Romance
The Underwriting is a tantalizing glimpse into the
boardrooms and bedrooms of six young hopefuls behind a
Silicon Valley IPO that will launch them into the exclusive
world of the über-wealthy—if it doesn’t destroy them first.
Each of them is looking for success, but they may have to
nail more than the deal to get to the top. Wall Street hotshot and playboy Todd Kent is not surprised
when Hook’s eccentric founder taps him to lead the deal of
the decade: taking the multibillion-dollar dating app
public. Hook has been helping Todd score with women since
its inception and now it’s poised to make his career. Given
just two months to pull it off, Todd assembles his
investment banking team—brainy Neha, party-boy Beau, and, a
surprise choice, old college flame Tara Taylor. Tara 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 Todd asks
her to help with Hook’s IPO, she sees her opportunity to
break through the glass ceiling and justify six
boyfriendless years of sacrifices for her career. She
quickly realizes the dating app has more in store for her
than a bigger bonus. The stars are finally aligning for Nick Winthrop. Rejected
from SAE rush at Stanford by Todd Kent, Nick is now a
Harvard Business School graduate and Hook’s CFO, with a chip
on his shoulder even bigger than his ego. Now that Hook is
going public and $80 million is about to come his way, the
life Nick knows he deserves is finally at his fingertips. But when a young woman dies, it threatens to throw the
deal—and the lives of those involved—into a thrilling
tailspin. The Underwriting is an insightful and
prescient glimpse into the inner workings of two
generation-defining worlds and might be the most accurate
depiction yet of the tech generation and the power it holds
to shape the future.
