The Guilt Pill
About the Book
The Guilt Pill
What if women could get rid of their guilt?
Maya Patel has it all --- her own start-up, a sexy, doting husband, influencer status and now, a new baby. Or does she? Because behind closed doors, Maya's drowning.Her newborn's taking a toll on her marriage, her best friend won't return her calls and her company's hanging on by a thread. The worst part? It's all her fault. If she could just be a better boss, mother, wife, daughter, friend…Maybe she wouldn't feel so guilty all the time.
Enter: #Girlboss Liz Anderson, who introduces her to the "guilt pill," an experimental supplement that erases female guilt. At first, it’s the perfect antidote to Maya’s self-blame and imposter syndrome and she finally becomes the unapologetic woman she’s always wanted to be. But there's a catch: for Maya to truly "have it all," she needs to be ready to risk it all. And as Maya falls deeper and deeper down the pill's guilt-free rabbit hole, her growing ruthlessness could threaten everything she's built for herself --- and the family she's worked so hard to protect.
Electric, taut and sharply observed, THE GUILT PILL is a feminist exploration of motherhood, race, ambition and how the world treats women who dare to go after everything they want.
