Buy it at Amazon and then eventually at a bookstore near you! (Er... if you live in Provincetown).
So, what's it about?
So you don't have to go to Amazon to read the blurb:
It's a twisty psychological thriller about a woman
who’s losing her grip, a troubled friend trying to help, a cat with an
agenda, and a sexual predator who may finally get his comeuppance.
Shannon,
a middle-aged artist with a chaotic past, feels blunted by years of
psychiatric medications. So she switches to magic mushrooms instead.
Suddenly her cat Niccolo is talking to her, urging her to do what she’s
always dreamed of: to get even with the smug, predatory author
responsible for her sister’s death thirty years ago.
Allison,
Shannon’s best friend back in high school, was a shy, closeted outcast,
grateful for Shannon’s empathy and protection. Now grown dispirited
after a series of losses, she comes to life again when Shannon arrives
in Provincetown. But Allison has no idea what Shannon is planning, or
what crises both women will face as Shannon’s grip on reality grows more
tenuous and Niccolo coaxes her ever closer to committing murder.
It’s
a darkly comic novel, full of secrets and surprising twists. Yet it’s
also about the healing power of love, friendship, and community. With an
eccentric cast of characters and the vibrant, artsy, queer energy of
Provincetown, there is plenty of warmth, humor, and celebration. Imagine
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine meets Nightbitch meets Bad Sisters.
