You Again (2020)
Debra Jo Immergut
"With mesmerizing deftness, You Again brilliantly reimagines a woman's search for her lost ambition as a psychological thriller. This book takes the questions of middle age--What happens to an artist's creative force when she becomes a mother with a day job? Can we recover lost time and neglected passion? Is idealism the purview of the young?--and turns them inside out. An extraordinary book."
