Description
'Poignant as well as savagely witty' - Observer
'Stylish and funny' - Sunday Times
'Hits every note perfectly' - Kamila Shamsie
Halfway through her PhD, computer scientist Asha has her future all mapped out. Then a chance meeting and whirlwind romance with her old high-school crush, Cyrus, changes everything. Together with their friend Jules, they come up with a revolutionary idea: to build a social networking app that could bring meaning to millions of lives.
While Asha creates an ingenious algorithm, Cyrus' charismatic appeal throws him into the spotlight. And when the app explodes into the next big thing, Asha finds that she's invisible in the very company she created.
Gripping, witty and razor-sharp, The Startup Wife is a blistering novel about big ambitions, speaking out and standing up for what you believe in.
