A vision-impaired woman trapped in a dangerous marriage discovers a women’s chat room on the dark web, for women who have “successfully navigated a bad marriage.”
It’s intriguing until she realizes who these women are and what they’ve done…....
“A vital new voice in fiction, For Worse features a compelling and unique protagonist in Ellie, whose retinitis pigmentosa is both character trait and searing metaphor, a heroine unlike any I’ve encountered before. I was instantly transfixed by this thrilling debut tale of marriage-gone-wrong, each twist more shocking and enticing than the last. Bowen’s smart, engaging narration illuminates the corners of our lives we prefer not to look at too closely.”
-Sarah Skilton, author of Fame Adjacent and Ghosting: A Love Story
“Fans of B.A. Paris, Greer Hendricks, and Sarah Pekkanen will inhale this page-turning debut.”
