An irresistible and messy love story about the terrible allure of wanting something that promises nothingfrom debut author Madeleine Gray

At 24, Hera is a clump of unmet potential. To her, the future is nothing but an exhausting thought exercise, one depressing hypothetical after another. Shes sharp in more ways than one, adrift in her own smug malaise, until her new job moderating the comments section of an online news outleta role even more mind-numbing than it soundsintroduces her to Arthur, a middle-aged journalist. Though she's preferred women to men for years now, she soon finds herself falling into an all-consuming affair with him. She is coming apart with want and loving every second of it! Well, except for the tiny hiccup that Arthur has a wifeand that she has no idea Hera exists.

With its daringly specific and intimate voice,Green Dotis a darkly hilarious and deeply felt examination of the joys and indignities of coming into adulthood against the pitfalls of the twenty-first century and the winding, tortuous, and often very funny journey we take in deciding who we are and who we want to be.
