About the Book
The story follows Grace, a former contestant on a reality TV dating show called Speed Daters. Once famous, Grace now spends much of her time watching old episodes of herself in her New York apartment.
Her quiet life changes when a stranger breaks into her apartment and then suddenly disappears. That same night, news spreads that Anoushka, Grace’s former rival on the show, has died by suicide. Grace unexpectedly returns to the public eye and becomes excited about receiving attention again.
However, fame does not last forever. Grace struggles to maintain her followers, her online income, and her complicated relationship with Cal, her on-and-off boyfriend and former co-star.
As public opinion turns against her, Grace leaves the city with Cal and escapes to his isolated cabin in the woods. Away from the cameras and social media, they must face their problems without the attention they once depended on.
