Summary:
"It's opening night, but far from glamorous.
Alice
is performing in a local Bay Area production of The Winter's Tale, the complete opposite of what she had envisioned for her career back home in Los Angeles. She doesn't have dreams of superstardom per se, but the basement theatre in a wildfire-choked town simply isn't ideal. To make matters worse, her best friend
Sadie
is not even coming. Pragmatic and serious
Sadie
and flighty, creative
Alice
have been best friends since high school-really one another's only friends--but now that they are through with college (which they attended together) and living on opposite ends of California,
Alice
would at least expect her friend's support.
Sadie
, determined not to cancel her plans with her boyfriend, ends up enlisting the help of her mother
Celine
. A professor of Women's and Gender Studies at UC Berkeley,
Celine
's landmark treatise on sex and identity made her notorious, but she's struggling to write her new book in a post-second-wave feminism world. When
Sadie
begs her to attend
Alice
's play, she relents, if only for an escape from writer's block. But in a turn of events perplexing even to herself,
Celine
becomes entranced by
Alice
's performance and realizes that her daughter's lanky, slightly annoying, best friend is now an irresistible young woman. Set over the course of decades--from
Alice
and
Sadie
's friendship's early days and
Celine
's decision to leave her husband to the radical movements of 90s Berkeley and navigating contemporary Hollywood--Alice and
Celine
's affair will test the limits of their love for
Sadie
and their own beliefs about power, agency, and feminism. Witty and relatable, sexy and surprising, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright's debut adult novel is a mesmerizing portrait of the inner lives of three very different women"--Provided by publisher.
