Summary

The unnamed Iranian-Indian American narrator of Liquid has always believed herself to be the smartest person in the room. And from an early age, she and her best friend -- a poet-turned-marketer named Adam -- have turned their noses up at other peoples' riches. But a couple of years on from earning a fancy PhD, she's still broke, single and stuck in a job going nowhere. One option remains -- marry rich. Her summer becomes a whirlwind of dating -- martinis with a lazy heir, board games with a butch producer and a Venmo request from a 'socialist' trust-fund babe. However, when some unexpected and tragic news takes her -- and her project -- to Tehran she is forced to ask and answer some overdue questions about family, connection and, terrifyingly, her own purpose in life and in love. A riveting spin on a classic romantic comedy, Liquid delivers a modern tale of romance, loss and belonging in a gorgeous high-wire voice that explodes off the page with wit, verve and originality.
