PERPETUAL WAKE

If at first you don’t succeed, lie, lie again.

Social media influencer Fiona West has written a stunning debut novel: Perpetual Wake. When career maker-or-breaker Paul Creel reads it, he sees himself reflected in shockingly accurate detail: He finally feels understood.

Impressed, he invites West for a “casual drink” just days before his review is published. But as they chat, he is humiliated to discover the book was intended as a hysterical satire! Declaring a silent war, he determines to bury the book before the year is out.
