{"product_id":"looker-9781501199127","title":"Looker","description":"*Featured on Best of Lists in Vogue, People, Entertainment Weekly, Real Simple, Southern Living, and more* In this \"wicked slow burn\" (Entertainment Weekly) of psychological suspense from the author of How Can I Help You, a woman becomes fixated on her neighbor--the actress. Though the two women live just a few doors apart, a chasm lies between them. The actress, a celebrity with a charmed career, shares a gleaming brownstone with her handsome husband and three adorable children, while the recently separated narrator, unhappily childless and stuck in a dead-end job, lives in a run-down, three-story walk-up with her ex-husband's cat. As her fascination with her famous neighbor grows, the narrator's hold on reality begins to slip. Before long, she's collecting cast-off items from the actress's stoop and fantasizing about sleeping with the actress's husband. After a disastrous interaction with the actress at the annual block party, what began as an innocent preoccupation turns into a stunning--and irrevocable--unraveling. A riveting portrait of obsession, Looker is \"a sugarcoated poison pill of psychological terror\" (The Wall Street Journal) and an immersive and darkly entertaining read--\"by the end you'll be gasping\" (People).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSims, Laura:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Laura Sims is the author of \u003ci\u003eHow Can I Help You \u003c\/i\u003eand the critically acclaimed novel \u003ci\u003eLooker\u003c\/i\u003e, now in development for television with eOne and Emily Mortimer's King Bee Productions.
