Jaded

‘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.

 

She is perfectly in control of her life.

 

Until one terrible night changes everything.

 

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.

 

This razor-sharp, darkly funny exploration of identity, consent and love will leave you asking yourself: what would you have done in Jade’s situation?
