Park Avenue: A Novel

#1 NYT-bestselling YA author Renee Ahdieh's adult debut novel, about a young lawyer who gets pulled in to manage a crisis with her firm's biggest client, a family whose Korean beauty brand is worth a billion dollars, pitched as CRAZY RICH ASIANS meets SUCCESSION

Jia Song was always destined for greatness. As the daughter of Korean bodega owners, she promised herself that she would have every Fifth Avenue luxury when she grew up, and it is all within reach. Sure, maybe her love life is in shambles and she’s spending too much time at the office. But as a brand new junior partner, she is set up to become her prestigious law firm’s next star. So when her boss asks her to sit in on the hush-hush meeting of a high-level client, she accepts without hesitation—only to find out that the client in question is one of the most famous Korean families in the world.

The Park family is worth a billion dollars, and their Korean beauty brand is mega-influential. But the patriarch is filing for divorce while his wife is dying, and their children can’t stop snapping at each other. With both the family fortune and legacy under threat, it’s up to Jia to set things right – and she only has a month to do it. Suddenly, Jia is thrust into the three Park siblings’ back-stabbing family politics and embroiled in drama. As Jia chases the truth across the globe on private jets, she finds herself falling for this broken, badly-behaving family in ways she can’t quite explain. But it is also becoming all too clear that the Parks are hiding dark secrets. Can she separate the truth from the lies in time to protect the Parks’ fortune and secure her success at the firm? And can she admit that what she always wanted isn’t what she actually needs?
