The futures

About this book

Falling in love as Yale students and moving to New York City in 2008, hedge fund employee Evan is embroiled in a deal that risks everything he has worked for, while nonprofit employee Julia reconnects with someone from her past who represents a different kind of life. For Evan, a scholarship student from a rural Canadian town, Yale is a whole new world, and Julia-- blond, beautiful, and rich-- fits perfectly into the future he's envisioned. Evan lands a job at a hedge fund in New York City-- on the eve of the great financial meltdown of 2008. As the market crashes Evan becomes involved in a high-stakes deal that seems more than slightly suspicious. Meanwhile, Julia reconnects with someone from her past who offers a glimpse of a different kind of life.
