Jaded by Ela Lee

As a young child of immigrants, I adopted the name Jade as a pseudonym at Starbucks. But now, Jade is much more than just a name. She is a successful lawyer, a devoted daughter, a beloved partner, and a loyal friend. However, after experiencing a horrific assault one night, Jade's carefully constructed life begins to unravel as she struggles to come to terms with the trauma. In this thought-provoking and unflinching novel, Ela Lee delves into the complexities of consent and recovery, leaving readers questioning what they would do in Jade's shoes. Written with urgency and clarity, JADED tackles issues of race, identity, and the far-reaching impact of sexual assault.
