Worry

"Alexandra Tanner’s hilarious debut opens in 2019 Brooklyn, where 28-year-old MFA graduate Jules Gold works for a SparkNotes-esque website. Her little sister, Poppy, has come to crash indefinitely, having fled their parents’ house in South Florida. Worry revolves around the sisters’ many anxieties: Is their three-legged rescue dog, Amy Klobuchar, foaming at the mouth from rabies, or is she just dehydrated? Why does their mother have an Instagram account suspiciously similar to those of conspiracy-minded momfluencers? Underneath the absurdity, the novel explores the thorniness of sisterhood and whether we’re different people when we’re around our families."
