Harmless

**“By turns bonkers, blissful, hilarious, and full of sorrow, Harmless drinks at the bar with McCarthy’s The Group and Dunham’s Girls.” —Emma Copley Eisenberg, nationally bestselling author of Housemates A twisty novel of sisterhood, friendship, and obsession that asks: Can we ever really outrun what haunts us most?** Two years ago, Bea’s life was upended when her beloved twin sister died. Audrey was captivating, an extrovert, their mother’s golden child. Bea was “different,” too intense, and chronically lonely. Now, in her late twenties, Bea is back home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, her spirits finally buoyed by her plan to start a dog kennel. Inspired by the childhood dream she once shared with Audrey and old, now-estranged friends Tatum and Layla, she’s sure this will be the perfect ode to her sister’s memory. But as they reintegrate into one another’s lives, Audrey’s absence is keenly felt by all. Soon, simmering tensions and attractions emerge, and a sinister darkness breaks through to the surface. What do they really want? What happens when old secrets come to light? And when is it best to bury a dream, or a cherished friendship?
