Fake Plastic Love - Kimberley Tait

"A keen, exuberant, unexpected story of friendship and ambition among the newly minted...I loved it." --Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of A Hundred Summers

Four bright young graduates charge into the real world with all the unfounded confidence of twenty-two.

M., our narrator, is one of the few young women at her prestigious investment bank, who insists she will always prefer her signet ring to any diamond.

Belle is M.'s college best friend, a whimsical romantic who escapes into the pretty world of her viral blog when tragedy strikes.

Chase is Belle's British-American on-again, off-again boyfriend. Equal parts fraternity bro and Savile Row, he is M.'s colleague and arch nemesis.

Jeremy is M.'s new friend, an earnest, modern-day Gatsby, who would rather be piloting a hot air balloon than stuck behind his Wall Street desk.

As they are pulled deeper into their new lives, style and substance--and dreams and reality--increasingly blur. In this fake plastic world, what do success and happiness and love even look like?

Kimberley Tait was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and moved to the U.S. to attend Dartmouth College, where she wrote an Honors Thesis on life as a staged performance in the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Kimberley earned an MBA from Columbia Business School and has worked at investment banks in New York and London, continuing to work with financial services and investment firms as a writer and marketing strategist. A Canadian, American, and Swiss citizen, Kimberley lives in London with her husband. Fake Plastic Love is her debut novel.
