A con artist walks into a grief support group. Chaos ensues.
After the death of her wife, Shelby is suffering from prolonged grief. Sheâs increasingly isolated, irritated by her familyâs stoicism and her friendsâ reliance on the toxic positivity of self-help culture. Then, in a grief support group, she meets Cammie, who gives Shelby permission to express her most hopeless, hideous feelings. Cammie is charismatic and unlike anyone Shelby has ever met. Sheâs also recovering from cancer and going through several other calamities. Shelby puts all her energy into helping Cammie thriveâuntil her intuition tells her that something isnât right.
Gibson is fresh from divorce, almost forty, and deeply depressed. Then he falls in love with Cammie. Not only is he having the best sex of his life with a woman so attractive heâs stunned she even glanced his way, he feels truly known for the first time in his life. But Gibsonâs friends are wary of Cammie, and eventually he, too, has to admit that all the drama in Cammieâs life can feel a bit over the top.
When Gibson and Shelby meet, they realize Cammieâs stories donât always add up. In fact, theyâre far from the truth. But what kind of a person would lie about having cancer? And what does it say about Shelby and Gibson that they fell for it? From the author of The Best Kind of People and The Spectacular comes a sharp, emotional novel about lies, liars and the people who love them.
