Bond Girl by Erin Duffy

Ever since her father took her to work on Wall Street when she was a young girl, Alex Garrett knew she wanted to follow in her father's footsteps. Her first job out of college, before the financial crisis, is with an elite brokerage firm in bond sales. From day one, Alex becomes the new office bitch and is routinely sent on lunch runs for hundreds of people and is humiliated by her boss and coworkers daily. As one of the very few women at Cromwell Pierce, Alex learns there are three types of women on Wall Street and she's continually pressured to be the type no woman wants to be. If you liked Devil Wears Prada and The Nanny Diaries you'll love the glimpse into the world of high-powered Wall Streeters in Bond Girl. Although I can't say I learned a single thing about the market, I definitely enjoyed the comedy Duffy brought.
