Mitty and her elderly friend Bethel live in a dilapidated bungalow along the California coast—one of the last houses in the neighborhood that hasn’t been snatched up by the tech elite. A wealthy entrepreneur and his girlfriend Lena move in next door and Lena draws Mitty into her orbit. Their intense friendship forces them both to reckon with their pasts and figure out who they want to be. Set against the backdrop of an AI founder’s murder, WYAH is a literary sci-fi novel that is unpredictable, gripping, and thought-provoking. Gatwood paints a poignant portrait of loneliness, desire, identity, forgiveness, female friendship, and what it means to be in a woman’s body.
