My career had gone nowhere. My love life was non-existent.
And as for s*x ? here I was, home alone on a Saturday night with a chick flick playing on my laptop because I didn?t own a TV. You can draw your own conclusions.?Our protagonist always believed herself to be the smartest person in the room. But a couple of years on from earning a fancy PhD, she?s still broke, single and stuck in a job going nowhere.
One option remains: marry rich. Her summer becomes a whirlwind of dating: martinis with a lazy heir, board games with a butch producer and a Venmo request from a ?socialist? trust-fund babe. However, when some unexpected and tragic news takes her ? and her project ? to Tehran she is forced to ask and answer some overdue questions about family, connection and, terrifyingly, her own purpose in life and in love.
A riveting spin on a classic romantic comedy, Liquid delivers a modern tale of romance, loss and belonging in a gorgeous high-wire voice that explodes off the page with wit, verve and originality.
