Whisper Network
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
"Honest, timely, and completely thrilling." --Reese Witherspoon (Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine book pick)
--The Daily Beast Sloane, Ardie, Grace, and Rosalita have worked at Truviv, Inc. for years. The sudden death of Truviv's CEO means their boss, Ames, will likely take over the entire company. Each of the women has a different relationship with Ames, who has always been surrounded by whispers about how he treats women. Those whispers have been ignored, swept under the rug, hidden away by those in charge. But the world has changed, and the women are watching this promotion differently. This time, when they find out Ames is making an inappropriate move on a colleague, they aren't willing to let it go. This time, they've decided enough is enough. Sloane and her colleagues' decision to take a stand sets in motion a catastrophic shift in the office. Lies will be uncovered. Secrets will be exposed. And not everyone will survive. All of their lives--as women, colleagues, mothers, wives, friends, even adversaries--will change dramatically as a result. "If only you had listened to us," they tell us on page one of Chandler Baker's Whisper Network, "none of this would have happened." "Exciting and sprinkled with razor-sharp insights about what it is to be a woman today, Whisper Network is a witty and timely story that will make you cheer for sisterhood."--Liv Constantine, USA Today bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish

"We wanted to be treated just like men, at work, for the same reason that people buy smart phones: to make our lives easier."
The lives of a group of women all working for the same company are turned upside down when the head of the legal department, poised to be named CEO, falls to his death from the top of the office's headquarters. The dead man's conduct comes into question when whispers of his habitual harassment and assault of women in the office become public. Each woman has a different experience with him, which colours her ability to separate the truth of his behaviour from her own personal stake. As secrets are exposed, friendships and loyalties are put to the test.
Inspired by events in the author's real life as a young lawyer, this story presents, at times with humour, the problems faced by women in the workplace, from socioeconomic status to motherhood to being taken seriously as a member of corporate society, with the overarching theme being who is believed when allegations of sexual assault are made, what the penalties are, and who suffers those penalties. Most working women can find something to relate to here.
Gave vibes of The Morning Show with Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell, or Bombshell with Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron.
