People With Money

From the author of Raised by Wolves comes a sharply satirical novel about class divisions, relationships and the dangers of mixing the two. Perfect for readers of Kiley Reid and Celeste Ng.

Amy Chan is a queer, twenty-something artist, broke and living one bad shift away from financial disaster. Edward Smith is affluent and white, his descent into a lonely middle age cushioned by generational wealth. This is the story of their relationship – one that is lopsided, transactional and arguably doomed from the start, but that shifts their worlds in unexpected ways.

Because, as Amy comes to understand, in Edward’s world love isn’t bigger than money – it just learns to speak its language.

People With Money is a darkly funny debut about the need for connection and the absurd negotiations that privilege smuggles into love.
