Summary

"An addictive, absurd, and darkly hilarious debut novel about a young woman who embarks on a ten-day getaway with her partner and two other queer couples Sasha and Jesse are professionally creative, erotically adventurous, and passionately dysfunctional twentysomethings making a life together in Brooklyn. When a pair of older, richer lesbians-prominent news host Jules Todd and her psychotherapist partner, Miranda-invites Sasha and Jesse to their country home for the holidays, they're quick to accept. Even if the trip includes a third couple-Jesse's best friend, Lou, and their cool-girl flame, Darcy-whose It-queer clout Sasha ridicules yet desperately wants. As the late December afternoons blur together in a haze of debauchery homecooked feasts and sweaty sauna confessions, so too do the guests' secret and shifting motivations. When Jesse and Darcy collaborate an ill-fated livestream performance, a complex web of infatuation and jealousy emerges, sending Sasha down a spiral of destructive rage that threatens each couple's future. Unfolding over ten heady days, Dykette is an unforgettable love story at the crossroads of queer nonconformity and seductive normativity. With propulsive plotting and sexy, wickedly entertaining prose, Jenny Fran Davis captures the vagaries of desire and the many devastating places in which we seek recognition"--Provided by publisher
