For fans of Dolly Alderton and HBO's Hacks, a whip-smart, laugh-out-loud funny debut novel about faking it (and "making it") as a writer in Hollywood. TV writer Caroline Neumann is thirty-four and mired in professional envy and self-hatred. Even Harry, her usually supportive therapist husband, thinks it's time for her to press pause on her career ambitions and focus on getting pregnant, despite Caroline's serious ambivalence about having children. When Caroline accidentally stumbles on Harry's patient session notes and offhandedly mentions what she finds in a meeting with a producer, the momentum of Hollywood takes over. Before she knows it--and unbeknownst to Harry--Caroline finds herself pitching a TV show about the deepest, darkest secrets of her husband's favorite patient, a woman known to Caroline only as the Teacher. Amid the indignities of the Hollywood development process, Caroline must balance her burning desire for professional validation against her own morality and the health of her marriage. And when Caroline forms a real-life relationship with Teacher herself, the lines between art and life begin to blur further, shaking up Caroline's understanding of what it means to be the "likeable female protagonist" of her own life.
