“Danzy Senna skewers a lot here- capitalism, Hollywood, gentrification, men acting like they’re the first people ever to have thoughts or feelings. But the heart of this novel comes from its layered depiction of a marriage between two artists, and the unsung dreams and stagnated desires that both drive and divide them. This book is hilariously funny, totally modern and possessed of a tone that can’t be described with a simple mash-up of other titles– one of my favorite books I read in 2024.”

“incredibly witty and smart”

“A fun satire of the entertainment industry and its handling of race, with the added bonus of its incisive portrait of the lives of young parents in Mt. Washington & South Pasadena”
