Darkly funny desire with a surreal bite

If you like literary fiction that is messy, sharp, and a little unhinged, this one really lingers. Lucy’s voice feels painfully real as she fumbles through heartbreak, obsession, and the need to be loved, while the novel keeps turning stranger in the best way. It’s sexy, sad, funny, and wonderfully weird, especially if you enjoy books that blur emotional truth with myth.

Lucy has spent years on her dissertation when a dramatic breakup sends her to Venice Beach for the summer to dog-sit. Surrounded by anxiety, a therapy group, Tinder swipes, and a dog's easy affection, she becomes entranced by a strangely alluring swimmer. When she learns the truth about his identity and about love, Lucy must reconsider what she wants from life. Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2019.
