Precious You

DEBUTTakhar’s first novel uses clichéd generational struggles in the workplace as the foundation for a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse. Katherine Ross is a stereotypical Gen-Xer. The editor of Leadership magazine, she still rocks leather jackets and skirts and has no qualms about divulging the details of her long-term open relationship with Iain. When the publication is bought out, Katherine is shocked to discover that the new owner has brought along her millennial niece, Lily, to help run the show. Things immediately turn creepy as Lily systematically picks away at Katherine’s life, stealing her friends, lovers, and professional prowess. Why is Lily so determined to destroy Katherine? A hidden manuscript contains the chilling reason, and Lily is just manipulative and shifty enough to uncover it all.
