This is a brand new book I ended up with two but have not read it yet.
The back if the book reads:

An initial investment is all she needs.

The stereotype is "starving artist" not "starving entrepreneur."

However, business-school grad Maddy Banks lives in her office, works 24/7 and hasn't shopped in so long that her closet has official historical status. Still, she's convinced that her manic drive, propensity for risk and dogged follow-through will make her millions. Someday. They have to. Right?

Success comes at a price.

When "death" gives Maddy a second chance at happiness, she quickly realizes that schmoozing and spreadsheeting her way through life isn't much of a life at all. Armed with an angel investor and a hot VC (um, that's venture capitalist), Maddy starts party planning for those who won't be attendingwhile she learns some hard lessons about trust, working with "friends" and mixing business with pleasure.
