'This isn't a book you read, but a book you step into . . .
mesmerising' Emma Gannon Since the death of her best friend Grace,
twenty-six-year-old Eve has learned to keep everything and everyone
at arm's length. Safe in her detachment, she scrapes along waiting
tables and cleaning her shared flat in exchange for cheap rent,
finding solace in her small routines. But when a chance encounter
at work brings her past thundering into her present, Eve becomes
consumed by painful memories of Grace. And soon her precariously
maintained life begins to unravel: she loses her job, gets thrown
out of her flat, and risks pushing away the one decent man who
cares about her. Taking up life-modelling to pay the bills, Eve
lays bare her body but keeps hidden the mounting chaos inside her
head. When her self-destructive urges spiral out of control, she's
forced to confront the traumatic event that changed the course of
her life, and to finally face her grief and guilt. Perfect for fans
of Sally Rooney's Conversations with Friends, Raven Leilani's
Luster, and Ottessa Moshfegh's My Year of Rest and Relaxation.
