The series does a brilliant job of creating speculation among viewers throughout the season through its streamy love triangle, resulting in a curiosity to know who Ingrid might end up with in the end — not just of the season, but the show. Ingrid gets assigned to a new deal working with Marty Adler, a corporate partner and rainmaker at PV. She works late, poring diligently over the details of the deal, hoping her excellent work will continue to be noticed as election season of new partners approaches. While working on this deal, Ingrid also witnesses an offensive performance by other lawyers at an internal firm event and is voluntold to participate in the firm’s diversity initiatives, in a clear move of damage control by PV. I felt like there were some missing pieces. I wanted more on how Perdie and Lucille became friends. Their friendship was a bright point, I wanted more. Ingrid Yung works in the corporate practice at global law firm, Parsons Valentine. She’s been working nonstop for 8 years making every effort to be promoted from Associate to Partner — When and if she’s elected, Ingrid will be the first female Asian-American partner at the firm. This was a really satisfying book. Wan does a great job of taking us behind the scenes in the lawyer's world. I really loved how she wove in the experiences of being a minority and a female in that setting. Although some of the childhood experiences with racism and the beginning interactions with her goal-oriented parents were pretty generic (maybe because I've experienced them myself or heard about them plenty), the actual character of Ingrid seemed very multi-dimensional. I enjoyed how Wan set up Ingrid's desire to work in and be part of New York City.

I have to also call out that as someone who lives in South Carolina and frequents Charleston I easily felt at home with the book. The author clearly knows Charleston well enough to nail down the people, the atmosphere, and the real sense of "Good Ol' Boys club" that is still alive and well today here. I also work in the legal industry in the south and I truly felt everything that Perdie did. As the book ends, the pair are still in the early stages of their relationship but are in a really good place which suggests Tim might be endgame if introduced in the series. Perdie Stone only requires three things in life: Lucille, her lifelong best friend. Bananas, their cute rescue pug. And she was offered a coveted partnership position at her Charleston law company. Her former secretary had told her, "I don't like sushi, no offense." The senior partner demanded that she be on the revitalized Diversity Committee, for damage control, after a racist parody was performed by some associates at a firm outing. A lady approached her at a coffee shop and told her to give her a call because her friends needed a good nanny who "spoke Asian."

I would say this is Perdita stone’s story. A strong, bold lawyer she was nevertheless frustrated about the work place inequality. I never thought women had to go so much. At times it made me mad on behalf of all the ladies. The Netflix show can be whatever it wants. I just deeply hope they don’t exclude all the important moments Wan so clearly thoughtfully put into her story.

Scenes like the cringeworthy retreat sequence (in which a racially charged stand-up set goes horribly wrong) had to be updated from their place in the book.
