The Sublet: A Short Story - Paperback

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Greer Hendricks comes a chilling story about the hidden cost of perfection. Anne is barely keeping it together. A frazzled ghostwriter and aspiring novelist, she juggles nine-year-old twins and a listless marriage from an overcrowded Manhattan apartment, spreading herself thinner each day. Just as Anne is about to give up on her dreams, she lands her biggest client yet: Melody Wells. Melody paints a picture of serenity and empowerment in the lavender haze of her visualization workshops-however, the one thing she can't manifest are the pages her publisher is demanding for her new motivational book. Enter Anne. As Melody invites Anne deeper into her magical world, Anne finds herself working impossibly long days and traveling far beyond her comfort zone. When Melody passes along a lead on a spacious sublet complete with East River views, built-in closets, and three bedrooms, Anne can't believe her luck. Melody seems to know just what her family needs. But as small, unsettling incidents begin to accumulate, Anne starts to wonder what price she's willing to pay for the good life.
