Valley Verified by Kyla Zhao

Zoe makes a huge career pivot from working for a fashion magazine in NYC to a tech startup in Silicon Valley. Her new role as VP in marketing comes with many perks but her tech-minded coworkers won’t take her seriously or hear out her ideas. Although I dress in sweat suits most days and couldn’t completely relate to Zoe, I really enjoyed this uplifting novel. It’s about a young woman adapting to major life changes, finding her way in a male-dominated industry, and overcoming imposter syndrome. There is also a sprinkle of romance that felt organic and was a nice bonus. Through Zoe’s experience, Zhao tackles common occupational stereotypes, misogyny in the workplace, and the impact of technology on human relationships. A fun, light, and smart read.
