"In Santa Cruz, every house is as flawless as the people inside. Not so for Mitty and her elderly roommate Bethel. For ten years, Mitty has found refuge in their quiet existence after a traumatic relationship that marked her adolescence. Now, they're the oddball pair in the dilapidated bungalow--the last vestiges of a town taken over by the tech elite. And when a new couple moves in next door, all four of them are about to be irrevocably changed. Because in Silicon Valley, nothing is off-limits, and what was once considered dystopia is now just reality... Sebastian is a software engineer working on artificial intelligence, and Lena is his suspiciously perfect girlfriend, so dreamy there's no way she's human. Or is she? Just like Mitty, Lena has her own secrets, suspicions about her oddly spotty memory and the way Sebastian closely controls their life together. As an all-consuming friendship verges into mutual obsession, Mitty is desperate to figure out who--or what--Lena really is. And as Lena starts to ask questions about Mitty's past, she is reminded of a part of herself she has yet to face: something anxious, something broken... something real. Gripping, seductive, and prescient, Whoever You Are, Honey dissects perfection, examines how women are made, and explodes the intersection of passion, technology, and power. A kind of The Stepford Wives for the digital age, this darkly brilliant novel showcases Olivia Gatwood as a thrilling feminist voice for our time"--
