About this ebook

'Smart, sharp and unputdownable.' Bella

'This is likely to be one of those most incredible and thought-provoking books I read this year.' Reader Review

If a pill could free you of guilt would you take it?

From the outside, Maya Patel's life looks perfect. She has a beautiful baby, the company she founded is going stratospheric, and her Instagram is filled with pics of her handsome, successful husband in their luxurious NYC apartment.

But that's far from the truth.

Maya's company is about to implode as she juggles work and her newborn and she has no time left to connect with family or friends, let alone for self-care. If she could just be a better boss, mother, wife, daughter, friend Maybe she wouldn't feel so guilty all the time.

So when Maya's mentor offers her a magic pill, it's goodbye guilt, hello Maya 2.0. Free from childcare worries and imposter syndrome, she can finally become the high-flying #girlboss the world sees.

But the more pills Maya takes, the less she feels. And as Maya falls deeper down the pill's guilt-free rabbit hole, she discovers a dangerous secret that could destroy everything she's worked so hard to build

A smart, addictive, relatable read that fans of The Other Black Girl, The Herd and The School for Good Mothers won't be able to put down.
