We’re thrilled to celebrate the release of Melissa Broder’s bold, sexy, and hilarious second novel, MILK FED. An Indie Next pick for February, it centers around Rachel, a calorie-obsessed lapsed Jew who longs for meaning and fulfillment. When she meets Miriam, an Orthodox woman who works at the yogurt shop, sparks (and sprinkles!) fly. Unflinchingly honest, unexpectedly moving, and a brilliant checkmate to shame, both carnal and spiritual–Milk Fed is a novel you’ll stay up late to finish reading. Preorders are available now via our website, and signed bookplates are on their way!
