How to Be Somebody Else

Resumen del libro

Exquisitely written, sublimely fraught and erotically charged, How to Be Somebody Else is a novel about abandoning everything you have to discover what you really want. Spring 2015, New York. On the surface Dylan has achieved the impossible - a life in New York, eight years of making And yet it is not the life she'd imagined. When she walks out of her career, then apartment, and into a housesit for an artist she's never met, she doesn't tell her friends, her parents back in England, or Matt, her boyfriend, living on the West Coast. Job-free, rent-free, she thinks she'll make good on her new life and when her neighbour Kate shows up to invite Dylan to a party, it sets about a course of events that are difficult to come back from. At the party she meets Gabe, who happens to be married to Kate - but insists, 'it's not a thing'. The affair that follows consumes Dylan and she begins to consider what is fixed and what is variable.
