When other girls were thinking about becoming doctors or lawyers, Alex Garrett established her places on conquering the high-powered world of Wall Street. And even though she's ready to fight her way into an elitist young boys' membership, or duck the casual errant basketball, she quickly realizes she's in over her mind when she's relegated to a kiddie-size foldable chair with her new moniker - Girlie - inscribed in Wite-Out over the back. No matter. She's established to make it in relationship sales at Cromwell Pierce, one of the Street's most esteemed brokerage firms. Keeping her eye on the prize, the reduced Girlie on the totem pole will go through whatever comes her way - whether trekking to the Bronx for a $1,000 wheel of Parmesan cheese; sensing a secretary's top secret Friday night time slumber/dance party in the conference room; fielding a continuous barrage of "friendly" useful jokes; learning the ropes from Chick, her unpredictable, slightly frightening, loyalty-demanding employer; babysitting a colleague while he consumes the contents of the vending machine on the $28,000 wager; or eluding the innovations of a corporate stalker who's also one of the firm's biggest clients. Ignoring her friends' pleas to give up, Alex excels (while learning how to spin with the punches and chuckle at herself) and soon innovations from lowly analyst to slightly-less-lowly affiliate. Suddenly, she's tackled by her real name, and the impenetrable young boys' membership has transformed into forty aged brothers and one possible sweetheart. Then your apocalypse hits, and Alex is required to choose between keeping Cromwell Pierce as it teeters on the brink of catastrophe or kicking off her Jimmy Choos and jogging for higher floor. Fast-paced, funny, and completely addictive, Connection Gal will leave you cheering for Alex: a feisty, ambitious female with the soul to stand up to the best (and most detrimental) of the young boys on the road - and in the end rise above all of them.
