A young Muslim scholar living in Los Angeles, stuck in the mire of a flatlining academic career, decides to give up and marry rich, committing herself to 100 dates in the course of a single summer. By midsummer reality hits, taking her - and her project - to Tehran.

'Sexy, sly, daring' Justin Torres, National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts
'The smoothest, smartest book I've read in quite some time' Paul Beatty, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sellout
'Loving, cutting, mournful, and hilarious' Bryan Washington award-winning author of Family Meal and Memorial
'My career had gone nowhere. My love life was non-existent. And as for s*x - here I was, home alone on a Saturday night with a chick flick playing on my laptop because I didn't own a TV. You can draw your own conclusions.'
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'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 'socialist' trust-fund babe. However, when some unexpected and tragic news takes her - and her project - 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.
