With Friends Like You

A Novel

De: Amy Chozick

From a New York Times bestselling author comes a gripping debut that defies all expectations—a story of feverish obsession, new motherhood, and a friendship pushed to the edge

Emily is unmoored as a new mother in Manhattan—exhausted, broke, and slipping away from her well-meaning husband. She becomes fixated on finding the one person who ever truly understood her: her college roommate Daisy who vanished years ago after dancing at a seedy strip club off campus.

In her desperate search for Daisy, Emily tumbles from new-mom message boards into a world of porn, secrets, and a high-end escort service for global billionaires, hitting one dead end after another—until the unthinkable happens: Daisy suddenly reappears.

Daisy infuses Emily’s life with newfound purpose and community as the two launch a new mothers’ group in a vacant luxury skyscraper (matcha on tap, vibrators on offer). But the joy of their reunion soon fades, revealing deep cracks in their friendship. Is Daisy the key to Emily’s happiness—or is she unraveling her world? And where has Daisy really been all these years?

“Biting, unsettling, and darkly hilarious, With Friends Like You is a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. Loaded to the gills with satire and packed with wonderful lines and observations, Amy Chozick’s razor-sharp debut both celebrates and skewers modern motherhood... and the beautiful lies we tell ourselves to survive it.”

“A pitch-perfect debut that will stick with you long after the last page. This book slapped me right in the face and I loved every second of it. In delicious, hilarious, and highly relatable prose Chozick perfectly sums up what mothers in America are finally starting to realize—no one is coming to save us. We're going to have to save ourselves.”
