Crash Into Me by Robinne Lee
In a keenly observed departure from her blockbuster debut, The Idea of You, Robinne Lee delivers a completely new, fearlessly intimate novel of messy, complicated relationships—one that delves into desire, race, power, and the shifting terrain of identity and selfhood.
What happens when a fantasy from your past collides with your reality?
In a complicated marriage and raising her children in Los Angeles’s toxic playground of privilege and power, Cecilia Chen is struggling to find her real self among the many labels assigned to her: wife, mother, artist, daughter.
Until the moment she crashes–literally–into the Anouk Ferrand. It’s been twenty years since she last encountered the enigmatic model on a photo shoot in Mexico.
And it’s this chance second meeting that will upend Cecilia’s life.
Seeing Anouk again forces Cecilia to revisit their brief time together and question where she truly fits in. Can the renewed intensity of her explosive physical and emotional entanglement with Anouk finally give her an answer?
Heartbreakingly real and emotionally layered, Crash Into Me illuminates the unexpected detours that change our lives forever.
