Clutch, (Paperback)

<b>"<i>White Lotus</i> with more sincerity and heart." --<i>Los Angeles Times </i><p><i></i>"This story casts a smart, sociological eye on ambitious American women's experiences while <i>also</i> being a compulsive page-turner." <br>--<i>The Atlantic</i> </p></b><p><b>A close-knit group of women navigate mid-life's biggest challenges--marriage, career, addiction--in this "sharp, funny, utterly engrossing" novel (Lynn Steger Strong)</b> </p><p><b>Named a Best Book by <i>The New York Times Book Review</i>, <i>People</i>, <i>Los Angeles Times</i>, <i>Alta Journal</i>, <i>Bustle</i>, and more</b> </p><p><b>Five friends. Twenty years of history. One unforgettable reunion.</b><i><b><br></b></i> <br>As undergrads, Gregg, Reba, Hillary, Bella, and Carson formed the kind of rare bond that college brochures promise--friendship that <i>lasts a lifetime</i>. Two decades later, the women are spread across the country but remain firmly tethered through their ever-unfurling group chat. They've made it through COVID and childbirth and midcareer challenges, but no one can anticipate what's coming down the pike. </p><p>The five women converge on Palm Springs for a long overdue reunion: Gregg, who has forged a path as a progressive Texas legislator, is facing a huge decision about her political future. Reba, who moved back to the Bay Area after decades away, is deep in IVF treatments while caring for her aging parents and navigating a San Francisco she hardly recognizes. Hillary's medical career in Chicago is going great--but at home, her husband's struggles with addiction have derailed their life. In New York City, Bella faces the biggest case in her career as a litigator while her home life crumbles around her, and across the river in Brooklyn, Carson is working on a new novel as well as forging a possible relationship with the father she's never met. </p><p>Twenty years into their shared friendship, the stakes are higher than ever, and they must help one another reconcile professional ambition with personal tumult. <i>Clutch </i>is a big, beautiful, and deeply absorbing novel that asks how much space and heart we can give to our friends and our families, and what space we can save for ourselves.</p>
