{"product_id":"books-liquid-by-mariam-rahmani","title":"Liquid","description":"A most anticipated book of the season for Oprah Daily, Literary Hub, Electric Literature, Book Riot, WBUR and LGBTQ Reads.  'Sexy, sly, daring' Justin Torres, National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts  'The smoothest, smartest book I’ve read in quite some time' Paul Beatty, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sellout  'Loving, cutting, mournful, and hilarious' Bryan Washington award-winning author of Family Meal and Memorial   ‘My career had gone nowhere. My love life was non-existent. And as for s*x – here I was, home alone on a Saturday night with a chick flick playing on my laptop because I didn’t own a TV. You can draw your own conclusions.’  Our protagonist always believed herself to be the smartest person in the room. 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.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53505431011601,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781529961126.jpg?v=1778096601","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-liquid-by-mariam-rahmani","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
