When other little girls were dreaming about becoming doctors or lawyers, Alex Garrett set her sights on conquering the high-powered world of Wall Street. And while she's prepared to fight her way into an elitist boys' club, she quickly realizes she's in over her head when she is relegated to a kiddie-sized folding chair with Girlie inscribed across the back. No matter. She's determined she's got the stamina to make it in bond sales at Cromwell Pierce, one of The Street's most esteemed brokerage firms. Ignoring her friends' pleas to quit, Alex excels and soon advances. Suddenly, she's addressed by her real name and the impenetrable boys' club has transformed into thirty-eight older brothers and one possible boyfriend. Then The Apocalypse hits.

      Despite promising insider secrets about what really happens at a Wall Street firm, Duffy’s debut crashes as fast as the stock market did. Alex Garrett, a recent college graduate who began her Wall Street career in 2006, dreams of fast-talking days on the trading floor. Instead, she sits on a folding chair at a government bond desk, fetches ridiculously large takeout orders, and serves as a doormat for her colleagues, as well as the office ladies’ man she dates. While the peculiar tasks Alex is forced to fulfill with a “yes, sir” attitude, and the crazy tales of work life pique the reader’s curiosity, these stories quickly become boring. Unfortunately, Duffy’s attempt to sell her trade secrets doesn’t pan out, and it’s hard to sustain interest by the time she gets to the number one thing you’ll want to know about working on “the Street.”
