Emily is in the thick of a postpartum haze. A new mom, feeling misunderstood by everyone in her life, missing her college roommate Daisy who disappeared after dancing at a seedy strip club. Emily begins a search for Daisy, convinced that if she can just find her, everything will be okay. The search takes her across message board after message board, to high-end strip clubs, then a trip to Atlantic City and then Texas. Just as she is about to give up, Daisy reappears, seemingly out of thin air. Daisy brings bakc a sense of purpose to Emily’s life. She has access to an empty luxury skyscraper, and the two use it to launch a luxury mother’s group: think matcha on tap, sleep pods, beautiful decor, Aperol Spritzes in the afternoon. But as the two grow closer, Emily needs to take a hard look at Daisy. Where has she been all these years? Is she the key to all of her problems or her undoing? It starts out slow and goes off the rails very quickly (in a good way!). I loved the ending and will be thinking about it for a while.
Read this if you loved: Anything by Emma Rosenblum (especially Mean Moms), A Special Place for Women, or you really liked the ending of Yesteryear and want something that will give you that feeling.
