An
assured and savagely funny novel about three old friends as they
navigate careers, husbands, an ex-fiancé, new suitors, and, most
important, their relationships with one another
After
a devastating break-up with her fiancé, Geraldine is struggling to get
her life back on track in Toronto. Her two old friends, Sunny and
Rachel, left ages ago for New York, where they've landed good jobs,
handsome husbands, and unfairly glamorous lives (or at least so it
appears to Geraldine). Sick of watching from the sidelines, Geraldine
decides to force the universe to give her the big break she knows she
deserves, and moves to New York City.
As she zigzags her way
through the downtown art scene and rooftop party circuit, she discovers
how hard it is to find her footing in a world of influencers and media
darlings. Meanwhile, Sunny's life as an It Girl watercolorist is not
nearly as charmed as it seemed to Geraldine from Toronto. And Rachel is
trying to keep it together as a new mom, writer, and wife--how is it
that she was more confident and successful at twenty-five than in her
mid-thirties? Perhaps worst of all, why are Sunny and Rachel--who've
always been suspicious of each other--suddenly hanging out without
Geraldine?
Hilarious and fiercely observed, How Could She
is an essential novel of female friendship, an insider's look into the
cutthroat world of New York media--from print to podcasting--and a witty
exploration of the ways we can and cannot escape our pasts.
