Contemporary Women's Fiction
In FAKING IT we meet Andi Cutrone, a thirty-something writing professor whose personal life is in flux after she breaks off her engagement. Deciding to yield New England to her ex, Andi moves home to Long Island and new teaching position at Brooklyn University, eager to get a fresh start on her career and herself. Things seem to be going according to plan, Andiβs classes are invigorating and sheβs enjoying the company of her best friend and colleague, Maggie. Then, just when Andi seems to be finding her footing, she meets Devin, a male escort whose client list seems to include at least half of the accomplished women she knows. Devin, totally handsome and charming (and decidedly out of her league), has something else underneath his sexy exterior that piques Andiβs interest. So she proposes a βteachingβ arrangement: each of them will educate the other in what they know best. Devin will teach Andi to be a better lover, and sheβll teach him to be a writer. With that, their unconventional βinstructionalβ arrangement begins. But what starts out as a clear-cut contract slowly develops into a deeper, unexpected relationship. In the midst of lessons in rhetorical theory and foreplay, Andi and Devin delve into profound questions about everything from art to love to politics, stripping away the emotional walls each has built up, and ultimately opening themselves up to each other and the rest of the world. As Andi and Devin discover just how much theyβve been faking in their everyday lives, their charged banter ignites on the page. More romantic comedy than romance, with just the right amount of drama added in, FAKING IT is a smart, witty, and introspective debut.
