Overview

For fans of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Miranda July comes a whip-smart, irresistible novel about a college senior who has 48 hours to sell her recently deceased mother's surprise stash of rare pills, or suffer the consequences. Arvy Keening is just trying to get through the week. Tantalizingly close to leaving her college years at Westheimer University behind, all she has to do is pass her finals, pack up her life, and ship off to San Francisco for a prestigious Big Pharma internship. The problem? Arvy just found 200 hits of Molly in her dead mother's closet. And when two drug dealers come to collect what they are owed, they reveal that the pills are not Molly, but Mona--a rare pharmaceutical that induces intense orgasms. The dealers give Arvy an ultimatum: Sell 200 Monas in 48 hours or die. To aid in her seemingly impossible quest, Arvy recruits Wolf, Westheimer's resident drug dealer who also happens to be infuriatingly charming and distractingly sexy. In a race against the clock, Arvy and Wolf barrel through their college town, leaving a series of erotic shenanigans in their wake; appealing to horny co-eds, lonely barflies, and a mysterious sorority whose sisters have their own ideas for Mona's potential uses. But if Mona has a knack for unleashing visceral reactions in the body, what will it unlock in Arvy, who has been repressing grief over her mother's death for weeks? Unashamedly brash, bold, and blistering, 200 Monas is a truly one-of-a-kind read, a playful and honest examination of sexuality and grief, and a sharp, searing love letter on how to release all that's inside you.

""200 Monas is a horny fever dream that had me tearing through the pages, desperate for another hit. This high-octane nail-biter is also a deeply cathartic exploration of loss. I laughed, I cried, I did other things you probably shouldn't put in a blurb.""--Rose Dommu, author of Best Woman ""200 Monas grabbed me by my belt loops and took me on a hell of a ride. By turns lush and biting, this is an intoxicating hometown goodbye novel with a fierce heart and chemistry that won't quit. Written with unrelenting wit and bold sensuality, Saenz tours readers through a dreamlike Texas underworld of pain, pleasure, love, and loss, exploring how trusting another person can be the headiest drug of all. I couldn't put it down.""--Emma Brodie, author of Songs in Ursa Major ""Fast-paced, frenetic, sexy, and heartfelt, 200 Monas is an emotionally charged roller coaster, a hot mess of a romance, and an uninhibited exploration of grief. A delightfully entertaining debut that will leave you ready for more from Jan Saenz.""--Emily Adrian, author of Seduction Theory ""Underneath the propulsive, wild action of 200 Monas lies a big, beating heart. I can't recall reading a novel that took so much sheer pleasure in giving its reader pleasure, too. I emerged from the final page of this novel breathless, ready to follow Jan Saenz anywhere.""--Daniel D'Addario, author of The Talent
