Maya's been able to get by in New York on her wits and a dead-end bookstore job for years, but when her husband leaves her and her favorite professor ends their affair, her barely-calibrated life descends into chaos, and she has to make some choices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaya's struggle to be alone, to be a woman, and to be thoughtful and imperfect and alive in a world that doesn't really care what happens to her is rendered with dead-eyed clarity and unnerving charm. This book takes every tired trope about addiction and recovery, \"likeable\" characters, and redemption narratives, and blows them to pieces.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Coffee House Press","offers":[{"title":"Problems | Jade Sharma | Paperback | 9781566894425 | New | Fiction 1761717","offer_id":49331221856408,"sku":"1761717","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81dMwyy5GGL.jpg?v=1782399811","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/problems","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
