Goddess Complex

Description

Sanjana Satyananda is trying to recover her life. It's been a year since she walked out on her husband, a struggling actor named Killian, at a commune in India, after a disagreement about whether to have children. Now, Sanjana is struggling to resurrect her busted anthropology dissertation and crashing at her annoyingly perfect sister's while her similarly well-adjusted peers obsess over marriages, mortgages, and motherhood. Sanjana needs to move forward-and finalize her divorce, ASAP. There's just one problem: Killian is missing. As Sanjana tries to track him down, she's bombarded with unnerving calls from women seeking her advice on pregnancy and fertility. Soon, Sanjana comes face to face-literally-with what her life might have been if she'd chosen parenthood. And the road not taken turns out to be wilder, stranger, and more tempting than she imagined. A darkly funny, genre-bending novel about the dilemmas of procreation, pregnancy, and parenting, Goddess Complex is both a twist-filled psychological thriller and a feminist satire of our age of GirlBosses turned Self Care influencers, optimization cults, social media mommy gurus, egg-freezing crazes, procreative peer pressure, and general uterine madness
