Jade isn't even my real name. Jade began as my Starbucks name, because all children of immigrants have a Starbucks name.

Jade has done all the right things.

She's curated herself to fit right in at her law firm, but tells herself she has no choice.
She's with a man who loves her, but isn't always herself around him.
She's made her Omma and Baba proud, but resents that they can't properly understand her.

Jade is perfectly in control of her life.

Until one terrible night unravels Jade's carefully constructed world, leaving her wondering who she truly is.

JADED is a refreshing and bitingly honest debut novel about how one shocking event can upend everything... and asks, what would you have done in her situation?

Ela Lee is a remarkable new voice in fiction. I tore through JADED – it made me laugh, cry and really bloody furious
JADED is a thoughtful, hard-hitting exploration of race, identity, and the rippling effects of sexual assault. Ela Lee writes with an urgency and clarity that will have you hooked until the last page.
A raw, compulsive and nuanced novel about identity, race and consent
One of 2024's hottest reads
This raw, dark novel explores racism, class and sexism and you'll want to savour every word on every page
Ela Lee is an electrifying new voice, and this is an ambitious gut-punch of a novel. Like I May Destroy You meets Industry, it’s a witty, nuanced and thought-provoking interrogation of attitudes towards race, power and consent
Jaded is so nuanced, assured, and utterly devastating it’s hard to believe it’s Ela Lee’s debut. Lee fearlessly takes on the impossible, infuriating double standards women are held to in our society, and undeniable feminine rage simmers under every sentence of her expertly crafted prose (Layne Fargo, author of THE FAVOURITES)
Wonderfully multi-faceted and emotionally compelling
Jaded is a sharp, bold and compulsively readable story of power, money, sex and survival. Ela Lee writes with utter clarity and heartbreaking insight about the cost of survival in cut-throat corporate environments and about the gray space between complicity and compromise. Urgent and necessary, this is a book that will take up space in your heart and mind long after the last page
Bold ... A tightly-wound, claustrophobic unravelling of one woman that is one of the year’s most thoughtful reads

Jaded is a profoundly deep and challenging book. Beautifully written and confronting so many contemporary challenges. Highly recommended (with appropriate trigger warnings).

Wow, what a powerful novel

First of all audible needs to remove the African American tag attached to this book because the main character is Korean Turkish British.
Second of all this book is fantastic think Prima facie mixed with your driver is waiting.

This book is fantastic

Excellence performance from the reader who handled a wide and challenging array of accents. Story was compelling but very of a similar style to others I’ve read recently (Queenie; Yinka Where is your Huzband; Love me Love me not) about professional female millennial angst.

Strong Narrative Voice but very of a genre

Confronts contemporary challenges that young professionals, especially female minorities, face when navigating the corporate world. Particularly in spaces when people higher up in the corporate structure or from privileged backgrounds thinly veil their prejudices.

Really really good
