Maya\u0026#39;s been able to get by in New York on her wits and a dead-end bookstore job for years, but when her husband leaves her and her favorite professor ends their affair, her barely-calibrated life descends into chaos, and she has to make some choices. Maya\u0026#39;s struggle to be alone, to be a woman, and to be thoughtful and imperfect and alive in a world that doesn\u0026#39;t really care what happens to her is rendered with dead-eyed clarity and unnerving charm. This book takes every tired trope about addiction and recovery, \u0026quot;likeable\u0026quot; characters, and redemption narratives, and blows them to pieces\u0026quot;--Amazon.com.","author_name":"Jade Sharma","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/jade-sharma","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/edition/30532541/27130506._SX98_.jpg","thumbnail_width":98,"thumbnail_height":147}
