Engineering A Love Story How Much Can A Woman Risk From Kathleen Reidy

It's the year 2000: dot-coms, Bush v. Gore, and sky-high San Francisco rents. But while the country swoons with irrational exuberance, Chelsea Lefevre's life is deflating faster than a tech bubble. She'd had everything she thought she was supposed to want: a house on Boston's North Shore, exquisite wedding china, an old-money mother-in-law. A safe, steady marriage. But after a mortifying slip-up, Chelsea finds herself heading into the 21st century alone. Her lifeboat? A new job advising tech execs, taken to escape the misogyny she endured as a software engineer — only to discover she has a surprising knack for spotting the next hot thing. Determined just to stay afloat, Chelsea doesn't have time to wonder if anything beyond safe and steady is possible. Then, on a West Coast assignment, she meets Seth Murphy, a magnetic sales executive at one of the country's hottest startups. Professional boundaries make him off-limits, but she can't resist his pull. What begins as a secret, casual affair soon jeopardizes Chelsea's career, her newfound independence — and her heart. Witty and warm, Engineering a Love Story questions how much a smart woman can risk when she's the only female in the room.
