Breathe In, Cash Out: A Novel

Written by Madeleine Henry

Narrated by Caitlin Davies

“The Devil Wears Prada meets Wall Street” (TheSkimm) in this sizzling debut about a banking analyst who plans to finally pursue her yoga career full-time after her bonus hits, but until then she’ll have to keep her sanity intact (and her chakras aligned).

Allegra Cobb’s resume: straight-A Princeton grad, second-year analyst at a top-tier bank, one-time American Yoga National Competition Champion. Allegra Cobb’s reality: Spending twenty-four hours a day changing the colors on bar charts, overusing the word “team,” and daydreaming about quitting the minute her year-end bonus hits her account. She no longer has no interest in the cutthroat banking world—she’s determined to launch her very own yoga practice.

But her plan isn’t quite as perfect as the beachfront yoga pictures she double-taps on Instagram. On top of the 100 emails an hour and coworkers already suspicious of her escape plan, Allegra’s hard-driving single father has always fiercely valued high achievement above all else. That his daughter works on Wall Street means everything to him.

But after a) unknowingly sleeping with the man now leading her banking cohort on one of their biggest deals to date and b) meeting the #blessed yoga guru who might just be her ticket to the life she’s always wanted, she realizes her happy-ever-after might be harder to manifest than she thought.

Fast-paced, laugh-out-loud funny, and totally irresistible, Breathe In, Cash Out “is a modern fairytale, a romance that’s not about finding the right guy, but finding yourself” (Eliza Kennedy, author of I Take You).

Light and easy. Do what you love… I enjoyed it.

Una historia entretenida, lo que más me encantó y que me llamo la atención es que es una mujer con un trabajo que se considera como exitoso en nuestro modelo de sociedad, es una analista en uno de los bancos más exitosos de Nueva York, pero detesta su trabajo y lo que más anhela ser es una profesora de yoga. Vemos su travesía entre empezar este nuevo camino en el yoga mientras intenta lidiar con las exigencias de su trabajo.m actual.
Sin embargo, yo sentí está historia un poco predecible, así como los personajes y debo decir que la parte de ella involucrándose con su jefe sin saber que era su jefe fue irrelevante para la historia. ¿La volvería a leer? No. Pero si me parece interesante reflexionar mucho acerca de nuestra definición de ser exitoso en el trabajo y sobre no querer defraudar a nuestras familias
