Jaded deals with the after effects of a night out, when Jade (not her real name, but it has stuck because her real name is too hard for people to pronounce 🙄) wakes up in pain, unable to remember the night before. Her boss had been refilling her glass on a staff night out, but she manages to avoid going home with him - which he clearly thought was on the cards. Instead, Josh takes her home. And Jade doesn’t remember anything else.

This is so sensitively dealt with, yet her feelings (physical and emotional), aren’t held back. After her initial physical pain and emotional numbness, comes the devastation of what has happened to her and the fact that she isn’t believed - or worse, the attack is trivialised by others. Not even her boyfriend believes her.

And the casual racism! Her job likes to think they’re diverse but they really aren’t, and they aren’t much help after her attack - especially when they learn who the attacker is.

In to the mix is the added pressure of a high-flying corporate job: the misogyny, power, politics and wealth.

Jaded is a debut, and the writing is captivating. I was drawn in to Jades world and felt outraged for her. There’s a lack of empathy from pretty much everyone that Jade knows.

Honestly, the writing is remarkable. If this is a debut, I can’t wait to see what comes next from Ela Lee.
