The author of the international bestseller The Storied Life of A.J.
Fikry returns with a witty, moving novel about what it means to be
a woman - especially in the Google age where no secret is safe for
long. Aviva Grossman, an ambitious Congressional intern in Florida,
makes the life-changing mistake of having an affair with her boss -
who is beloved, admired, successful, and very married - and
blogging about it. When the affair comes to light, the Congressman
doesn't take the fall, but Aviva does, and her life is over before
it hardly begins. She becomes a late-night talk show punchline; she
is slut-shamed, labelled as fat and ugly, and considered a blight
on politics in general. How does one go on after this? In Aviva's
case, she sees no way out but to change her name and move to a
remote town in Maine. She starts over as a wedding planner, tries
to be smarter about her life, and to raise her daughter to be
strong and confident. But when, at the urging of others, she
decides to run for public office herself, that long-ago mistake
trails her via the Internet like a scarlet A. These days, Google
guarantees that the past is never, ever, truly past, that
everything you've done will live on for everyone to know about for
all eternity. And it's only a matter of time until Aviva/Jane's
daughter, Ruby, finds out who her mother was, and is, and must
decide whether she can still respect her.
