Give Me Danger

From international cult author, Tea Hačic-Vlahovic, comes a dark literary comedy celebrating and damning both coasts, following Val from LA where drug dealer crushes and cute homeless boys distract her from writing her next book, to NYC for a funeral for her writing career and love life. Val`s debut hit novel earned her a glamorous beach house, but it left her desperate for legitimacy. Now, she`s pinned her hope for literary clout to Leonardo, a New York publishing legend, who has accepted her second novel. Unfortunately, before he finishes editing, he dies in a shocking twist, leaving Val to attend his memorial in search of answers. At the Roxy Hotel in NYC, she runs into rivals and shady people from her past and befriends a rat, who may or may not be the late editor reincarnated. Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, a homeless kid and drug dealer meet under unlikely circumstances, in Val`s living room. Doom looms on the horizon, as people on both coasts try to make peace with their ambitions, failures and horoscopes. For readers of Anna Dorn`s Exalted and Mona Awad`s Bunny, Give Me Danger is a keening exploration of what happens when success is not enough.
