Description
In a world where intimacy is negotiated as much through power as through affection, this novel follows relationships that begin with promise and quickly reveal their hidden costs. As characters navigate shifting loyalties, social expectations, and the subtle negotiations of trust, the story builds toward moments of reckoning that test what love, friendship, and family truly demand. With sharp psychological insight and a keen eye for the ways people rationalize harm, the book explores themes of control, class, and the emotional fallout of “good” intentions. Cressida Connolly’s distinctive, observant style blends wit with unease, delivering a compelling, character-driven read about the boundaries we cross—and the damage that lingers when we do.
