“Bold, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down.”
—Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of The Leftover WomanWhat if women could get rid of their guilt?Maya Patel has it all—her own start-up, a doting husband, and now, a new baby. But behind closed doors, she's drowning. Her newborn has taken a toll on her marriage, her best friend won't return her calls, and her company is hanging on by a thread. The worst part? It's all her fault. If she could just be a better boss, mother, wife, friend… Maybe she wouldn't feel so
guilty all the time.
Enter: #Girlboss Liz Anderson, who introduces Maya to the "guilt pill," an experimental supplement that erases female guilt. It's the perfect antidote to Maya’s self-blame and imposter syndrome, and she can finally become the woman she’s always wanted to be. There's just one catch—for Maya to
truly "have it all," she must be willing to risk it all. And as she falls deeper down the pill's guilt-free rabbit hole, her growing ruthlessness could threaten everything she's built for herself…and the family she's worked so hard to protect.
