Josie Tyrell, an art model and runaway immersed in LA's rock scene, discovers a chance at genuine love with Michael Faraday, a Harvard dropout and son of a famous pianist. However, her world shatters when she receives a call from the coroner to identify Michael's body. As she grapples with his death and clings to their shared memories, Josie finds herself both drawn to and repelled by Meredith, Michael's mother, who blames her for his suffering. Their relationship becomes a complex web of distrust and dependency. With her signature luxurious prose and intense storytelling, the author crafts a mesmerizing narrative of love, betrayal, and the potential for transcendence. Critics have praised the vivid portrayal of Los Angeles, its vibrant punk music scene, and the raw emotional honesty reminiscent of literary greats. The novel is described as a gripping psychodrama that delves into the characters' inner lives with striking immediacy. It captures the allure of a bohemian lifestyle marked by chaos and alienation, delivering a fresh and compelling reading experience. In the realm of dysfunctional family narratives, the author stands out as a masterful storyteller, creating an uncommonly engaging page-turner.
