The Glitch (Doubleday) is Elisabeth Cohen ’99’s humorous novel following the life of Shelley Stone, a high-profile Silicon Valley CEO, mother of two, and workaholic. Stone believes her life to be perfectly balanced, but when she meets a woman claiming to be a younger version of herself, she begins to question her sanity.

Blair Hurley ’09’s novel The Devoted (W. W. Norton) traces Nicole’s journey to regain her freedom by delving deep into her complex and troubled past.
