With Friends Like You - Paperback

A feverish search for a long-lost friend threatens to upend a young woman's life in this darkly funny, gripping thrill ride of a novel that defies all expectations, from New York Times bestselling author Amy Chozick.

Emily is unmoored as a new mother in Manhattan--exhausted, broke, and slipping away from her well-meaning husband. She becomes fixated on finding the one person who ever truly understood her: her college roommate, Daisy. Cool, poetry-reading Daisy, who vanished years ago, after she took a job dancing at a strip club off campus.

In her desperate search, Emily tumbles from new-mom message boards into a world of sex work, secrets, and a high-end escort service for global billionaires, hitting one dead end after another. Until the unthinkable happens: Daisy suddenly reappears.

Daisy infuses Emily's life with newfound purpose and community as the two launch a new mothers' group in a vacant luxury skyscraper (matcha on tap, vibrators on offer). But the joy of their reunion soon fades, revealing deep, unsettling cracks in their relationship. Is Daisy the key to Emily's happiness, or is she unraveling her world? And where has Daisy really been all these years?

With Friends Like You is a story of feverish obsession, new motherhood, and a fractious friendship pushed to the edge.
