Despite the notion of female solidarity, almost every office has its feud, usually between two women. In The Feud, a work friendship goes bad . . . very bad. Soon Nikki and Roberta engage in a series of betrayals that threatens one with the loss of her boyfriend and reputation and the other with the loss of her home and her family. Nikki smokes weed; Roberta drinks wine; they each have their little helpers, but can anything really help them achieve peace? The book is set in the mid-nineties, when the Internet was new (Nikki calls it "just a fad"), and cell phones were rare. The two women use these emerging technologies in their increasingly damaging war with each other until they find themselves alone in a stalled elevator.
