TRUST AND SAFETY

'Trust and Safety is distressingly smart, wickedly sly, and side-clutchingly hilarious - I was howling! I simply could not turn away. Blackett and Gleichman achieve the best kind of storytelling: the type that forces you to contend with their characters' choices, then holds up a mirror so you're implicated in their foibles and bad decision-making - all while demanding that you turn the page because you simply must know how it ends. What a brilliantly observed and witty take on the sometimes absurd ways we choose to live. And how blessedly and wonderfully gay'
- Vanessa Chan, author of The Storm We Made  

'Smart, playful and perfectly surprising, Trust and Safety is a matryoshka of tart observations that illuminate the strange and many contradictions of contemporary life'
- Cecilia Rabess, author of Everything's Fine  

'What happens when we try to live the life that Instagram is selling us? This is the question that Trust and Safety hilariously-and poignantly-asks. In answering it, Laura Blackett and Eve Gleichman spare no one, taking aim at everyone from tech bros to overbearing mothers. It's a smart, funny, and timely exploration of what happens when our obsessions get the better of us, and when we discover that authenticity is not as authentic as it seems'
- Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding  

'Laugh-out-loud... If you want a book that perfectly evokes millennial sexual politics under late-stage capitalism, and in which all of us - gay, straight, cis, and trans alike - are read for absolute filth, then look no further than Trust and Safety'
- Rafael Frumkin, author of Confidence and Bugsy  

'Irresistibly hilarious and weird, sexy and surprising, and gently profound, Trust and Safety delighted me at every turn and delivered razor-sharp insights into our contemporary search for authenticity, beauty, and the perfect vintage doorknob'
- Jenny Fran Davis, author of Dykette  

'

Sharp, hilarious, and thought-provoking, Trust & Safety is about the aspirations, absurdities, and longings of contemporary life-a story that will make you question your own life choices when you're not lingering over each pitch-perfect line or racing to find out what happens next'
- Jane Pek, author of The Verifiers  

'A read-in-one-sitting exploration of contemporary life, technology and social media, queerness, belonging and conformity'
- BookTrib 

'Blackett and Gleichman skillfully capture the way a single look from the right person can make you embarrassed about every choice you've ever made. A fast, fun read that invites you to change your life (or at least quit Instagram)'
- Kirkus 

'Clever... Blackett and Gleichman expertly build suspense following a bombshell revelation... This intrigues and unsettles in equal measure'
- Publishers Weekly
