Description
A man with a top-rated profile on the "Rental Stranger" app navigates New York City under various guises. As he plays different characters, he maintains a professional distance from his clients. However, when a nosy patron threatens to upend his long-term role as father figure to a young girl, he begins to reckon with his attachment to her and his own fraught past.
As he confronts the boundaries he has drawn, Stranger must explore the legacy of abandonment that shaped his life. This is a strikingly vivid novel about the commodification of relationships in a gig economy, isolation in a hyperconnected world, and the risk of asking for what we want from those who cannot give.
Ultimately, this is the story of a man who finds out who he is by being anyone but himself. With its thought-provoking themes and nuanced exploration of human relationships, Five-Star Stranger is a compelling read for fans of psychological fiction and family life stories.
