Actress Bridgette Wilson-Sampras Has Ovarian Cancer, Husband Reveals: "An Exceptionally Challenging Time For My Family"

Former Olympic Gymnast And ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Contestant Mary Lou Retton Says She’s “Staying Very Positive” After Recent Hospitalization Here was another thing about all the male attorneys I worked with. They all called me by my last name, Yung, instead of by my first name, Ingrid. I wondered if some of them even knew what my first name was. But I didn't mind this. I'd been in the corporate world long enough to know that it was a good sign. When they felt comfortable enough to swear like sailors around me, I knew I was finally in. Behind Helen Wan’s wit and sparkling prose is a poignant and at times, painfully honest tale of loyalty, ambition and sacrifice. Funny, fragile, sometimes bold, often unsure, Ingrid Yung is one of those unforgettable heroines that you actually miss, like a dear friend, when the story’s over.” –Ann Leary, New York Times bestselling author of "The Good House"

Georgia Lee spoke to Deadline shortly following the release of season 1 and discussed where they’d head in season 2. Here’s some of the key points discussed: Dominic Sherwood as Jeff Murphy, an attorney who recently transferred from Parsons Valentine & Hunt's London office and Ingrid's one-night stand from 6 years ago Scrambling to do damage control, Parsons Valentine announces a new Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, commanding Ingrid to spearhead the effort. Only she's about to close an enormous transaction that was to be her final step in securing partnership.

Ingrid is a driven, meticulous lawyer who’s been working towards partner at her New York City law firm, Parsons Valentine and Hunt, for years. When we meet her it’s crunch time and she’s trying to stand out from her male colleagues, including an insufferable, privileged, problematic attorney Dan Fallon (Nolan Gerard Funk) and her dream man and former one-night-stand Jeff Murphy (Dominic Sherwood). And I had just been tasked with taking a brand-new deal to announcement stage in less than five weeks' time. No pressure, really. A master storyteller...Wan paints a realistic and immersing portrait of the elite world of corporate law. She had me rooting for Ingrid's success and happiness from the first chapter.” — Real Simple Let’s just get this out the way… I think the trailer for the show is a little misleading with saying it’s based off this book, because from what I saw they don’t seem like they’ll have much in common, but honestly I think that’s okay. Rightly or wrongly, the show is most comparable to the earlier release in 2022 of The Lincoln Lawyer. Both are dramas with legal aspects (although some would argue the show is more of a romantic comedy) with 10 episodes and are relatively close to each other in runtime.

I had never wanted to belong to anything more than to that shimmering landscape of office towers lit up against the dark New York sky. This was an interesting story about discrimination from the point of view of Ingrid Yung, a Chinese American corporate lawyer trying to make partner at a Manhattan law firm. After breaking up with Jeff in the book, Ingrid presses pause on dating until she bumps into Tim Hollister, a partner at Parsons Valentine & Hunt,at a corporate legal ethics CLE at New York City Bar after she’s left the firm to start a firm of her own! When he stops to congratulate her on her new firm, the pair strike up a relationship that starts with coffee which leads to lunch the following week and dinner the week after. So who is this mystery man? In the books, Tim is in the associate class three years ahead of Ingrid. When he makes partner, he ends up being a rarity in that he never sees himself as being above any of his colleagues or anyone else for that matter. In the book, he’s described as havingsalt-and-pepper hair and kind gray eyes and as being “the type of guy whose appeal, I guessed, was obvious to most but not all.”

I saw the trailer for the Netflix movie that's coming out and was v happy to see an Asian lead! I was too curious about what happens with the love interests in the trailer so I had to read the book to find out since I can't wait the half-month for the movie to come out. I was originally just going to skim to see what happens with the boys but ended up reading the whole book at once because I just had to finish all of it. There was low-key way more to it than I was expecting that actually made me want to read the whole thing.

Wan writes heartfelt scenes with the protagonist's parents. Without giving away the plot, she also manages excellent shape-shifting with four or five characters as their foibles are revealed. Focused on making partner at her cutthroat New York City law firm, Ingrid finds her plans thrown off-kilter when a new colleague arrives from London. That's not Adler's MO," I said. Marty Adler was the top rainmaking partner at Parsons Valentine, the real deal. He didn't need to troll the halls. Associates wanted to work with him. If he liked you, he could make your whole career.
