Estranged from her family and beset by phantom pain, she signs up for 'The Girlfriend Experiment' - a mysterious project masterminded by a famous Hollywood actor who hires a collection of women to fulfil the different roles of a relationship. Mary is to play the Emotional Girlfriend, alongside a Maternal Girlfriend, a Mundane Girlfriend, an Angry Girlfriend and, of course, an Intimacy Team. Each woman has her debts and her difficulties, her past loves and her secrets. As Mary and the actor are drawn ever closer together, the nature of the experiment changes, and the Girlfriends find themselves exposed to new perils, foremost among them love.

I'm struggling to rate this book, because I want to separate the writing from the story. Lacey crafts her words exquisitely. However, the actual story felt a bit disorganized and incomplete, as though the last half were written for time.
I found the PAKing bit an unnecessary tangent of the story about The Girlfriend Experiment and feel both could've had stand-alone stories.
The Answers posed some important + relevant questions about the impending realities of modern romance. I was intrigued by the similar theories presented in Touch by Courtney Maum.
