β¦ Synopsis
Jen Nilsson has an MBA, a nice condo, and a fast-track job at a tech start-up in Silicon Valley. If her big product launch goes well next month, she may finally land the marketing director job sheβs been gunning for. But then her younger sister, Katie, just out of college and estranged from their newly devout parents, blows through the front door, dumping cardboard boxes and a lifetime of personal drama onto Jenβs just-swept floor.
Family is family, and Jen lets her sister, the embodiment of all that annoys her, move in. Maybe sheβll turn aimless Katie into a model adult. But when Jenβs own well-laid career plans hurtle off the tracks β a corporate buyout, a layoff, and a disastrous business trip to China β she turns more and more to Katie for support and begins to reassess the place of family, and love, in her life.
If You Can Get Itexplores the quirks and humanity of the twenty-first-century business world, but finds its heart in the deepening relationship of two sisters as different as Elinor and Marianne ofSense & Sensibility.
