Go sad. Go dark.\n\nA washed-up author will stop at nothing to claw her way back to relevancy—even if it means appropriating a young gay man’s tragic story.\n\nMallory Maddox is buried under seven years of writer’s block. With her status as a literary sensation fizzling, she’ll do anything she can to resurrect her career. Inspiration needs to strike—and fast.\n\nEnter Leo. He’s a struggling addict sleeping under bridges and trading sex for survival. He’s vulnerable. He’s enigmatic. He’s exactly what Mallory has been looking for.\n\nMallory needs Leo if she wants another bestseller. The world needs Leo’s story right now, and Mallory believes she deserves to tell it. Really, it’s her story—she’s the one who wrote it, after all.\n\nBut as secrets threaten to unravel more than just her career, Mallory must decide how far she will go to pen the perfect story.\n\nA razor-sharp satirical thriller, Fruit Fly will appeal to fans of R. F. Kuang’s Yellowface and Yomi Adegoke’s The List.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47316109656233,"sku":"PHBK-9798892426374","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/18331683488914.jpg?v=1785784416","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/fruit-fly-a-novel","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
