ReviewsPraise for Lucky Night "Two characters locked in a hotel room having an affair go at it when every mask and protective layer is stripped away, and they are at their most vulnerable. Fun. Sexy. A little 'dangerous.'" --Jay Ellis, author of Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)? and actor, Insecure Praise for I Take You "A salty, lively first novel . . . crackling, bawdy, and modern." --Stephanie Clifford, New York Times Book Review "This debut novel's take on modern gender roles is aggressively provocative, with graphic sex. It's also funny and, eventually, wise." -- People Praise for Do This For Me "Fun . . . Kennedy has a gift for snappy dialogue." -- New York Times Book Review "Kennedy tackles gender relations at home and in the workplace in this frank, compulsively readable examination of how one woman balances her exploration of her sexual identity with her career and motherhood." -- Booklist, Praise for Lucky Night "Two characters locked in a hotel room having an affair go at it when every mask and protective layer is stripped away, and they are at their most vulnerable.

Eliza Kennedy's novel treats love like the life-threatening emergency it sometimes is, a force both destructive and illuminating." --Tom Perrotta, New York Times bestselling author "An electrifying love story that defies all expectations. Lucky Night alternates between profound intimacy and terror, between claustrophobia and pleasure, and illuminates our conflicting desires for safety and the sort of exquisite connection that makes us feel alive. A dazzling novel." --Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street " Lucky Night is a tautly sexy, savage fever dream of clandestine passion and mounting fear. Kennedy keeps her pair of lovers on the knife's edge between fantasy and exposure. It's a tour de force of dramatic tension and revelation." --Kate Christensen, author of The Great Man and Welcome Home, Stranger "Two characters locked in a hotel room having an affair go at it when every mask and protective layer is stripped away, and they are at their most vulnerable.

SynopsisTwo people, one hotel room, and all the choices and complications that make up a life. After six years of a stolen hour here, another there, tonight is going to be different for Nick Holloway and Jenny Parrish. They've booked a room in a new luxury hotel in Manhattan, where they'll spend the entire night together for the first time. Expectations are running high for this brief reprieve from ordinary life: they both need a good bout of ravishing sex and witty conversation. But that's not what they get. Because they've barely gotten started when a smoke alarm goes off. Nick is annoyed, but not worried about what must be only a minor glitch. Jenny is anxious, guilty--is karma coming for them at last? This existential page-turner seamlessly shifts between Nick and Jenny's perspectives as the reality of their situation becomes apparent, and all their secrets, evasions and regrets come spilling out. Stripped of their defenses, disagreeing about everything, these two flawed, funny, very different people are forced to be honest--with each other and themselves--about what they want, all they stand to lose, and whether their affair is really as casual as it seems., "[A] crafty new locked-room thriller of adultery and disaster . . . a fresh take on middle-class marital malaise . . . Kennedy's page-turner brings [our] fundamental human fears into the blazing light of a towering inferno."-- The Washington Post Two people, one hotel room, and all the choices and complications that make up a life.
