A woman must learn to take life by the throat after a night out leads to irrevocable changes in this juicy, thrilling novel from the USA Today bestselling author of Such Sharp Teeth and Black Sheep.
Sloane Parker is dreading her birthday. She doesnβt need a reminder sheβs getting older, or that sheβs feeling indifferent about her own life. Her husband surprises her with a birthday-weekend getawayβnot with him, but with Sloaneβs longtime best friend, troublemaker extraordinaire Naomi. Sloane anticipates a weekend of wine tastings and cozy robes and strategic avoidance of issues sheβd rather not confront, like her husbandβs repeated infidelity. Β
But when they arrive at their rental cottage, it becomes clear Naomi has something else in mind. She wants Sloane to stop letting things happen to her, for Sloane to really live. So Naomi orchestrates a wild night out with a group of mysterious strangers, only for it to take a horrifying turn that changes Sloaneβs and Naomiβs lives literally forever. The friends are forced to come to terms with some pretty eternal consequences in this bloody, seductive novel about how itβs never too late to find satisfaction, even though it might taste different than expected.
