Description
A dazzling story of female friendship, the cost of a creative life, and the secrets that can undo us.
At a private East Coast college, two outsiders meet in art class. Mel is brash, brilliant, and wild. Sharon is shy, lovelorn, but ambitious. Together, they become an award-winning animation duo, living and working in Brooklyn, making short autobiographical films.
But when the pair decide to base a new project on a long-buried childhood encounter, it forces them to examine the relationships they have with their families, lovers, and even each other.
- Praised by Marie Claire, The Guardian, and Emerald Street, this is a propulsive and beautifully-written coming-of-age story by an exciting young US writer about two girls whose journey from white trash teenagers to acclaimed NYC artists is defined by their complex friendship.
- Exploring creativity, sexuality, female friendship, and how childhood secrets can undo the lives of adults, it is perfect for readers of A Little Life and Girls on Fire.
