Ultimately it's not so much a story about life in the City. It's more a personal struggle about who you can trust and the importance of retaining control of your own life and it just happens to be set in the financial world where these issues are pertinent. It's fast paced as Geri's once comfortable world comes crashing down around her. If it's possible to have a coming of age story for a 28 year old protagonist, then that's what this is.
