Rachel Klein never meant to kiss her creative writing professor. Zahid Azzam never planned to become a houseguest in his student's sprawling Connecticut home, but he does. Becca Klein never thought she'd have a love affair so soon after her divorce, but when her daughter's professor walks into her home she does, and the affair is...a very bad idea. This novel zigzags between the rarified circles of Manhattan investment banking, the achingly self-serious MFA programs of the Midwest, and the private bedrooms of Connecticut.
