Sway - Paperback

by Sofia Stone (Author)

Emily Hathaway is too smart to fall for the wrong man-but somehow, she still does. At thirty-one, she has a good job, close friends, and a strong relationship with her mom. She's emotionally aware. Self-reflective. She knows what manipulation looks like. Or thought she did.

When David-charming, trilingual, and a little too good to be true-sweeps her into a whirlwind romance, Emily feels seen in ways that are hard to explain. They connect over books, art, late-night rides through the city. But something isn't quite right. Is she pushing him away out of fear, or is her intuition quietly sounding the alarm?

Told in a voice that's observant, self-deprecating, and sharp, Sway is about the blind spots we create for love, and the slow, necessary clarity that comes after. It explores the psychology of quiet power, the residue of past relationships, and how identity bends-and reshapes-in the presence of charm.

For readers drawn to the emotional nuance of Sally Rooney, the personal awakenings of Taylor Jenkins Reid, and the romantic entanglements of Carola Lovering, Sway is a novel about what relationships reveal about the self-and what it takes to finally listen.
