Edan Lepucki’s second novel explores the complicated relationships between mothers and their children, female friendships, the power of art, and deception. The story alternates between the perspectives of two women who are at different stages in their lives, but who are spiraling out of control at the same time. These women are among my favorite types of narrators: unreliable and sometimes unlikeable, self-aware but also self-destructive. A darkish read with some sly humor, Lepuki does a fine job capturing the emotions and insecurities that women experience.
