Description: Obsessed! Chlo Sevigny I am literally obsessed. Busy Philipps Hailed as richly intimate and wickedly delightful (The New York Times Book Review) this steamy and incisive debut adult novel follows one woman's affair with her daughter's best friend testing the limits of love and ambition. It's opening night but Alice's performance in the local Bay Area production of The Winter's Tale is far from glamorous. She doesn t have dreams of stardom but the basement theater in a wildfire - choked town isn t exactly what she envisioned for her career back home in Los Angeles. To make matters worse her best friend Sadie is not even coming. Pragmatic serious Sadie and flighty creative Alice have been best friends since high school really one another's only friends but now that they are through with college (which they attended together) and living on opposite ends of California Alice would at least expect her friend's support. Sadie determined not to cancel her plans with her boyfriend ends up enlisting the help of her mother Celine. A professor of women's and gender studies at UC Berkeley Celine's landmark treatise on sex and identity made her notorious but she's struggling to write her new book in a post - second - wave feminist world. So when Sadie begs her to attend Alice's play she relents if only to escape writer's block. But in a turn of perplexing events Celine becomes entranced by Alice's performance and realizes that her daughter's once lanky slightly annoying best friend is now an irresistible young woman. Set over the course of decades from Alice and Sadie's early friendship days and Celine's decision to leave her husband to the radical movements of 1990s Berkeley and navigating contemporary Hollywood Alice and Celine's affair will test the limits of their love for Sadie and their own beliefs of power agency and feminism. Witty and relatable sexy and surprising Sarah Blakley - Cartwright's debut adult novel is a mesmerizing portrait of the inner lives of three very different women.
