No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive \"nemesis\" who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can't, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and prickly estranged grandmother. Then she's tossed into the deep end, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren't enough, she discovers her hot-nemesis works there, too...and Teddy is nothing like the man she thought she knew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore she can cry foul, Teddy comes clean about his double life: he's the heir to the CEO and he needs her help to make Celeste a better place--for everyone. But that means taking down the old guard--including his father--intent on standing in their way. Now in the center of a dizzying corporate coup, Dee is forced to decide whether she's ready to stop watching the world through rose-colored glasses and instead face the truth: about herself, about her feelings for Teddy, and about what she's willing to do to truly make a difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDEE KWAN'S SECRETS FOR A HAPPY LIFE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlways remain positive, no matter the cost\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRealize that every setback is a hidden opportunity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccept compliments graciously, especially when given by mega-hot rivals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNever, ever question whether any of these mantras actually work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sourcebooks Casablanca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781728242682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.96d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lily Chu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43733107146933,"sku":"9781728242682","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_721a2023-f622-4066-b950-490c21c0bbb7.jpg?v=1710258687","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-takedown-9781728242682","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
