Women Are the Fiercest Creatures - by Andrea Dunlop (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In this wildly addictive novel, three overlooked women take on the charming, manipulative tech CEO who wrote them out of his startup's history.

THREE WOMEN, ONE CHARMING TECH CEO, AND THE LONG-HELD SECRETS THAT ENTANGLE THEIR LIVES

Anna Sarnoff is still reeling from her quickie divorce from tech wunderkind Jake Sarnoff. Forced out of the company that she helped Jake build, Anna is trying to adapt to her new roles of ex-wife and solo parent. Across town, unanswered questions gnaw at Samanta Flores-Walsh, Jake's college girlfriend, when she learns that Jake is planning to take his billion-dollar company public. Is it too late for justice? And then there's Jake's much younger new wife, Jessica, who's struggling to stay afloat as a new mom while her high-profile husband grows distant.

Set in the wealthy enclaves of Seattle's tech elite, Women Are The Fiercest Creatures is a searing look at the complexities of family, the obstacles women must navigate, and the secrets that threaten to destroy their lives.

Review Quotes

"Andrea Dunlop has a knack for making deeply flawed characters recognizable and sympathetic and compelling as hell. Maybe you come for the beautiful rich people embroiled in juicy scandals of their own making, but you stay for those characters, their intricate relationships, and their complex motivations in every shade of gray. Great on motherhood, empowered women, and female support roles of all sorts, Women Are the Fiercest Creatures is Dunlop's best yet."
