But she temporarily forgets all that by throwing herself into a few sexy distractions, like Ivy, a grad student researching 1950s lesbian pulp who smells like metallic orchids, or her new neighbor, Penelope, who smells like patchouli. Penelope, a painter living off Urban Outfitters settlement money, immediately ingratiates herself in Astrid's life, bonding with her best friends and family, just as Astrid and Ivy begin to date in person. Astrid feels judged and threatened by Penelope, a responsible older vegan, but also finds her irresistibly sexy. When Astrid receives an unexpected call from her agent with the news that actress and influencer Kat Gold wants to adapt her previous novel for TV, Astrid finally has a chance to resurrect her waning career. But the pressure causes Astrid's worst vice to rear its head, the Patricia Highsmith, a blend of Adderall, alcohol, and cigarettes, and results in blackouts and a disturbing series of events. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Los Angeles (Calif.) $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Ãcrivains $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a Authors $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Los Angeles (Calif.) $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 7 $a Queer fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240703011405.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2E6F47E390111EF921F5BD751ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
