<b>A desperate young publicist tries to save her career by turning the charismatic leader of a grungy retreat center into the hot new self-care brand in this <b> wryly funny [and] fabulous debut novel (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>)</b>.</b><br><br><b> A satire both cutting and careful in its approach, <i>The Glow</i> is a triumph. <i>Elle<br></i><br>A <i>GLAMOUR </i>AND <i>LIT HUB </i>BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR</b><br><br>Jane Dorner has two modes: PR Jane, twenty-five, chummy, and eager to sell you a feminist vibrator or a self-care/bereavement subscription box; and Actual Jane, twenty-nine, drifting through mediocre workdays and lackluster dates while paralyzed by her crushing mountain of overdue medical bills.
