Description
Elsa's world has been turned upside down. Her relationship with her couple has ended, leaving her feeling lost and disconnected in her childhood bedroom. As she searches for meaning online, she becomes fixated on a charismatic young actor whose latest film is a gay love story that resonates deeply with her. When the actor arrives in town for the annual theater festival, Elsa finds herself drawn to his entourage, including an enigmatic figure named Sam. As Elsa navigates this new connection, she must confront her own desires and the patterns that may be repeating themselves. Her obsession shifts from the actor to Sam, forcing her to grapple with her sexuality and the uncomfortable truths about her past relationship. This is a story about identity, connection, and the search for meaning in a post-postmodern world. With its sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Madison Newbound's debut novel offers a nuanced exploration of queer identity and the complexities of human relationships.
