"The Times "(UK)
Michelle Miller's debut novel reads like a salacious, ripped-from-the headlines tell-all of Manhattan's young, wealthy, and uber-successful. From the very first page, I felt like I'd met these characters in real life: Todd, the hot, rich, d-bag banker; Tara, the striver perfectionist who can't quite please everyone; Kelly, the good girl with a secret, and Josh, the creepy savant genius who just might change the world. What do they all have in common? A certain location-based hookup app that alters each of their lives in shocking ways. Get ready to settle in-you won't be able to put down this book.

Reading this book was better than snorting a key bump of Adderall. I hated how much I loved it.

""Reading this book was such a thrill, I was as sleep deprived as Michelle Miller s Adderall-fueled characters but having way more fun. Like a digital age Edith Wharton, Miller brilliantly chronicles the clash of cultures between high finance and high tech with perfect intricacy and nuance. Hilarious, exhilarating, and so, so clever.

It's sharp, sexy, smart and everything else you need for a perfect summer thriller. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the next book to land a huge movie deal."

A digital-age Edith Wharton . . . hilarious, exhilarating, and so, so clever. Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians

A suspenseful, racy, and achingly honest story of the entangled lives of six young women and men as they take Silicon Valley s hottest dating app public.
Tara Taylor runs six miles every morning, never eats after nine p.m., is the first to arrive and last to leave the office, but is starting to wonder why she bothers. When her old Stanford flame, Todd Kent, asks her to join his four-person team handling Hook s IPO, the deal of the decade, she sees her opportunity to break through the glass ceiling and justify six boyfriendless years of sacrifices for her career. And the $14 billion dating app might have more in store for her than a bigger bonus. But that kind of money changes people. When the deal is thrown into a tailspin, Tara and five others will each find out just what they re willing to give up love, family, integrity to get to the top."
