From the author of A Good Happy Girl, a messy lesbian novel following two exes who turn to online dating after their dramatic split--only to end up seeing the same woman

In Sweetener, recently separated wives--both named Rebecca--can't seem to disentangle their lives. Lonely and depressed, Rebecca is scraping by as a part-time cashier at an organic grocery store. Despite having less than ten dollars in her bank account, she lists herself as a sugar mama on a lesbian hookup app, where she connects with Charlotte, an artist who, unbeknownst to Rebecca, is also dating her wife.

The other Rebecca, a doctoral student who is newly motivated to stay sober, has discovered a way to fulfill her dream of becoming a parent without getting pregnant. She wants to foster a child, and because the Rebeccas are still legally married, she needs her wife to attend classes as part of the approval process.

Neither Rebecca asks if this means they're getting back together, but the possibility of a reunion sends Charlotte into a tailspin. As Charlotte navigates her desire for each Rebecca--or her desire for attention--her world becomes Gumby-like and surreal, not least because she's been wearing a pregnancy belly and only one of the Rebeccas knows it isn't real.

Sumptuous, sticky, and slightly absurd, Sweetener brings together three women fixated on the fantasy of motherhood, and how they might best fill the role in someone else's life.

MARISSA HIGGINS (she/her/hers) is a lesbian writer. She is the author of the novel A Good Happy Girl.
