Summary:

The Not Wives traces the lives of three women as they navigate the Occupy Wall Street movement and each other. In the midst of economic collapse and class conflict, late-night hookups and polyamorous girlfriends, they piece together a new American identity of resistance--against financial precarity, gentrifying New York, and the traditional role of a wife.
New York, during the Occupy Wall Street movement. Stevie is a nontenured professor and recently divorced single mom; her best friend Mel is a bartender, torn between her long-term girlfriend and a desire to explore polyamory; and Johanna is a homeless teenager trying to find her way in the world. In the midst of economic collapse and class conflict, late-night hookups and long-suffering exes, the three women piece together a new American identity founded on resistance-- against the looming shadow of financial precarity, the gentrification of New York, and the traditional role of a wife. -- adapted from front flap
