If You Love It, Let It Kill You, (Paperback)

<p><b>Recommended Summer Reading according to <i>The New York Times</i>, <i>Elle</i>, Zibby Owens, and the <i>Minnesota Star Tribune</i><br></b><br><b>"A dishy work of autofiction that everyone will be talking about."<br></b><i><b>--The New York Times</b><br></i><br>A refreshingly irreverent novel about art, desire, domesticity, freedom, and the intricacies of the twenty-first-century female experience, from the acclaimed writer Hannah Pittard </p><p>A novelist learns that an unflattering version of herself will appear prominently--and soon--in her ex-husband's debut novel. For a week, her life continues largely unaffected by the news--she cooks, runs, teaches, entertains--but the morning after baking mac 'n' cheese from scratch for her nephew's sixth birthday, she wakes up changed. The contentment she's long enjoyed is gone. In its place: nothing. A remarkably ridiculous midlife crisis ensues, featuring a talking cat and a game called Dead Body. </p><p>Steeped in the strangeness of contemporary life and suggestive of expansive metaphoric possibilities, <i>If You Love It, Let It Kill You</i> is a deeply nuanced and disturbingly funny examination of memory, ownership, and artistic expression.</p>
