About this listen
Emily is unmoored as a new mother in Manhattan—exhausted, broke, and slipping away from her well-meaning husband. She begins to fixate on finding the one person who ever truly understood her: her college roommate, Daisy. Cool, poetry-reading Daisy, who vanished years ago after dancing at a seedy strip club off campus.
In her desperate search, 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, unsettling cracks in their relationship. Is Daisy the key to Emily’s happiness or is she unraveling her whole world? And where has Daisy really been all these years?
Critic reviews
Praise for With Friends Like You:
"Knife-sharp, slick, and surprising, With Friends Like You is a knockout debut. This frenetic psychological thriller is weird, funny, and so bingeable—with an ending that left my jaw on the floor."
–Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Ferry Out and We Were Never Here
“With Friends Like You is a funny and razor sharp meditation on motherhood - not to mention the type of psychological thriller that keeps you guessing until the last page. What a stunning debut!"
—Laura Dave, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me and The First Time I Saw Him
“I lost myself in Amy Chozick's dizzying and absorbing novel in the very best way. What starts as a hilarious and scathing treatise on new motherhood unfolds into something genuinely shocking and thought-provoking. The answer to what happened to Daisy is sure to leave readers stunned.”
—Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive and Bright Young Women
“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.”
—Maria Semple, New York Times bestselling author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette and Go Gentle
“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.”
—Jo Piazza, bestselling author of Everyone is Lying to You and The Sicilian Inheritance
“A truth-telling, gobsmacking satirical commentary on the mind-fuck that is modern motherhood. With Friends Like You is a perfectly observed, eccentric and thought-provoking debut with both humor and heart—and a completely unexpected twist!—from a writer I can’t wait to read more from.”
—Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push and The Whispers
