Tech Wives - Large Print by Kirstin Chen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A stylish, smartly observed story about friendship, marriage, and modern life, this timely novel follows two women married to tech billionaires whose values and relationships are put to the test when public scandal threatens to destroy everything--from the New York Times bestselling author of Counterfeit.

It began in a college dorm room, a promise between two ambitious, young women, Sam and Cecily, to build meaningful lives. Despite their different backgrounds: Sam from an affluent family, Cecily with her working-class roots, the two quickly became inseparable. Decades later, they seem to have it all. Cecily is the polished, influential wife of a tech titan. Sam is a dedicated doctor who has just married the charismatic, idealistic founder of a social media empire.

But from the moment Sam steps onto her new husband's private jet for their honeymoon, she is plunged into a world of unimaginable wealth that clashes with her deeply held values. Meanwhile, Cecily's seemingly perfect marriage is a fortress built on unspoken truths and devastating compromises. As their husbands' ambitions escalate and public scrutiny intensifies, the pair is pushed to a breaking point as they attempt to hold on to all they've built together: their friendship, their marriages. But what happens if you can only save one?

Set in the glittering, treacherous world of Silicon Valley, against a dizzying backdrop of wealth, power, and reputation-destroying scandal, Tech Wives is a page-turning exploration of intimacy caught in the crosshairs of our increasingly connected lives. Told from alternating perspectives, it's a deeply resonant portrait of love and female friendship--and the staggering cost of getting everything you thought you wanted.
