From Publishers Weekly

A southern belle gone awry, Yvette Broussard admits to "some Daddy issues"—the ultimate understatement of this honestly written but cringe-inducing debut novel. Twenty-nine years old and finally making it as a jewelry designer in Los Angles, Yvette is afloat. But she's still mourning her father's decades-past disappearance and her mother's death three years earlier, and she wakes up screaming from nightmares more often than not. When she sees her ex-lover, movie star Andrew Madden (29 years her senior), at a movie premier, her world falls into breathless disarray. Segue into 350 pages of pathos detailing her self-destructive on-again-off-again 10-year relationship with controlling, remote, seductive, unavailable Andrew. Beginning with their first liaison, when she was a starving 18-year-old artist/restaurant hostess in New York, fresh from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Michel charts the lovesick obsession that brings Yvette winging across the country to join Andrew and keeps her waiting drunkenly by the phone. Though Michel conjures a credible voice for her unfortunate protagonist, watching Yvette waste her life and self-esteem is like witnessing a slow-motion train wreck. (Apr.)

From

Michel's debut novel opens with a scream, literally: Yvette Broussard, a talented L.A.-based jewelry designer on the cusp of 30, has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming at the top of her lungs, for no reason she can discern. When she runs into her former lover, movie star Andrew Madden, at a performance by a mutual acquaintance, all of Yvette's buried issues are brought to the surface. She never quite fell out of love with Andrew, a man almost three decades older than her whom she met while working at a restaurant in New York when she was only 18. Their passionate affair carried on for several years, while Andrew continued to date his costars and Yvette kept hoping he would eventually settle down with her. Yvette's sighting of Andrew brings him to the forefront of her mind and eventually back into her life, forcing her to confront issues she's long avoided and make sense of her unremitting attraction to him. Michel's crisp writing and keen observations make her a writer to watch. Kristine Huntley
