    "description": "<p>My career had gone nowhere. My love life was non-existent. And as for s*x &ndash; here I was, home alone on a Saturday night with a chick flick playing on my laptop because I didn&rsquo;t own a TV. You can draw your own conclusions.&rsquo; Our protagonist always believed herself to be the smartest person in the room. But a couple of years on from earning a fancy PhD, she&rsquo;s still broke, single and stuck in a job going nowhere. One option remains: marry rich. Her summer becomes a whirlwind of dating: martinis with a lazy heir, board games with a butch producer and a Venmo request from a &lsquo;socialist&rsquo; trust-fund babe. However, when some unexpected and tragic news takes her &ndash; and her project &ndash; to Tehran she is forced to ask and answer some overdue questions about family, connection and, terrifyingly, her own purpose in life and in love. A riveting spin on a classic romantic comedy, Liquid delivers a modern tale of romance, loss and belonging in a gorgeous high-wire voice that explodes off the page with wit, verve and originality.</p>",
