A brilliantly funny novel of money, sex, race, liberalism and bad behaviour in the post-Obama era, this is a wickedly smart take on the way we live now. Becca Klein never thought she'd have a love affair so soon after her husband leaves her for a younger woman, but when her daughter's professor walks into her home, bringing with him a poodle named Princess, she does, and the affair turns out to be - a very bad idea. "Conversations with Friends" meets "The Goon Squad".
