From a New York Times bestselling author comes a gripping debut that defies all expectations-a story of feverish obsession, new motherhood, and a 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 becomes fixated on finding the one person who ever truly understood her: her college roommate Daisy who vanished years ago after dancing at a seedy strip club off campus.
In her desperate search for Daisy, 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 cracks in their friendship. Is Daisy the key to Emily's happiness-or is she unraveling her world? And where has Daisy really been all these years?
