'JADED is a thoughtful, hard-hitting exploration of race, identity, and the rippling effects of sexual assault. Ela Lee writes with an urgency and clarity that will have you hooked until the last page.' Cecile Pin, author of Wandering Souls 'Jade isn't even my real name. Jade began as my Starbucks name, because all children of immigrants have a Starbucks name' Jade has become everything she ever wanted to be. Successful lawyer. Dutiful daughter. Beloved girlfriend. Loyal friend. Until Jade wakes up the morning after a work event, naked and alone, with no idea how she got home. Caught between her parents who can't understand, her boyfriend who feels betrayed, and her job that expects silence, the world Jade has constructed starts to crumble. Jade thought she was everything she ever wanted to be. But now she feels like nothing at all. For fans of The List, Queenie and I May Destroy You, this razor sharp debut novel will capture your heart, make you laugh and sob, and will leave you asking yourself: what would you have done in Jade's situation? 'Ela Lee is an electrifying new voice, and this is an ambitious gut-punch of a novel. Like I May Destroy You meets Industry, it's a witty, nuanced and thought-provoking interrogation of attitudes towards race, power and consent' - Bobby Palmer, author of ISAAC AND THE EGG

This book slowly but effectively wormed it's way into my heart and brain. By midway I was completely hooked and only reluctantly let it go when there was no more words to read. The story was frustrating, made me both angry and sad, and was unfortunately a realistic representation of the misogyny and racism that still exists in our world. I also loved the significance of the title. This one will stay with me and is a great debut. 4.5/5 stars!

A wonderful debut! This was a very tough read. You know when a book makes you feel everything? That‘s what this book was.

Jade‘s story, unfortunately, is not a new one. The way this author presented it, made me feel all the anxiety and the grief that Jade was going through after her sexual assault and the repercussions it had on her life, relationships and career.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
