From a New York Times bestselling author comes a darkly funny, gripping thrill ride that defies all expectations—a story of feverish obsession, new motherhood, and a fractious friendship pushed to the edge
Emily is unmoored as a new mother in Manhattan—exhausted, broke, and slipping away from her well-meaning husband. She begins to fixate on finding the one person who ever truly understood her: her college roommate, Daisy. Cool, poetry-reading Daisy, who vanished years ago after dancing at a seedy strip club off campus.
In her desperate search, Emily tumbles from new-mom message boards into a world of porn, secrets, and a high-end escort service for global billionaires, hitting one dead end after another. Until the unthinkable happens: Daisy suddenly reappears.
Daisy infuses Emily’s life with newfound purpose and community as the two launch a new mothers’ group in a vacant luxury skyscraper (matcha on tap, vibrators on offer). But the joy of their reunion soon fades, revealing deep, unsettling cracks in their relationship. Is Daisy the key to Emily’s happiness or is she unraveling her whole world? And where has Daisy really been all these years?
