Description

A trans woman sets out to exploit a group of wealthy roommates, only to fall under the spell of their glamorous, hedonistic lifestyle in techbubble San Francisco.Years after fleeing San Francisco and getting sober, Jhanvi has made a life for herself working at a grocery coop and saving for her surgeries. But when her friend (and sometimes more) Henry mentions that he and his techie festivalgoer friends spent $100,000 to transform a warehouse basement into a sex dungeon, Jhanvi starts wondering if theres a way to exploit these gullible idiots. She returns to San Francisco, hatching a plan to marry Henry for his companys generous healthcare benefits.Jhanvi enters a world of beautiful, decadent fireeaters and their lavish sex parties. But as her pretensions to cynicism and control start to fade, she develops a Gatsbyesque attraction to these happy young people and their bold claims of unconditional love. But do any of her privileged new friends really like or accept her? Her financial needs expose the limits of a community built on limitless selfexpression, and soon she has to choose between doing whats right, and doing whats right for her.This darkly funny novel skewers privileged leftist millennial tech culture, and asks whether "found family" is just another of the twentyfirst centurys broken promises.
