The Answers

"In The Answers, a woman named Mary responds to an ad for a mysterious job. It turns out to be a social experiment in which a famous actor hires a fleet of “girlfriends” to suit all of his needs – the protagonist’s title is “Emotional Girlfriend.” If it sounds unsettling, it is. It’s also psychologically and socially astute and leaves the reader with a kind of pleasant, lingering unease that lasts for days."
