Description
I absolutely loved it. Anyone interested in the relationship between tech, our bodies, and our minds should bump it to the top of their queue immediately. - Zadie Smith, author of The Fraud
This bold and highly impressive debut novel has its thumb right over the sore spots of modern life. - Guardian
Mary is single, jobless, and on her way to Ibiza.
There, at a party, she meets Tom, a brilliant chemist on the verge of launching a new drug that claims to cure the anxieties of modern life.
Back in London after a heady trip, Mary begins going out with Tom and working for her sort-of-ex Lara, who has created an innovative dating app designed to revolutionise the industry. As tech and pharma collide, she is forced to question what love and success mean in a world that is hurtling out of control.
Electrifying, urgent, and darkly funny, Mariel Franklin's debut Bonding is a uniquely modern story of sex, tech, and freedom in the messy tangle of our digital age.
Audacious, hot, deeply uncomfortable and genuinely thrilling. - Saba Sams, author of Send Nudes
