Ashley Hutson
One of BuzzFeed's Must-Read Summer Books For readers of Ottessa Moshfegh and Mona Awad, this fearless debut chronicles one woman’s escape into a world of obsessive imagination. Bonnie Lincoln just wants to be left alone. To come home from work, shut out the ghosts of some devastating losses, and unwind in front of the nostalgic, golden glow of her favorite TV show, Three’s Company. When Bonnie wins the lottery, a more grandiose vision—to completely shuck off her own troublesome identity—takes shape. She plans a drastic move to an isolated mountain retreat where she can re-create the iconic apartment set of Three’s Company and slip into the lives of its main characters: no-nonsense Janet Wood, pleasantly airheaded Chrissy Snow, and confident Jack Tripper. While her best friend, Krystal, tries to drag her back to her old life, Bonnie is determined to transcend pain, trauma, and the baggage of her past by immersing herself in the ultimate binge-watch.

"Really novel premise. Victimized woman wins the lottery & turns her back on society in the most amusing and terribly sad way."

"Ashley Hutson is one to watch. This was not the light, comedic read I assumed it was but I couldn’t put this book down. And I’m still debating if it had a happy ending. "

"Omg, I was not expecting this book to turn the way it did! I loved Three's Company growing so the storyline pulled me in but unknowingly involved into multiple layers that kept me hooked. This is a must read!"

"I liked this book! It was good for fans Ottessa Moshfegh and Mona Awad as described, but didnt' feel as chaotic or disgusting, which... OK I admit maybe I missed that. It was a slow burn for sure and it took me a bit to get through for that reason, but I enjoyed it when I was reading it. I think I would have gotten through an audiobook a lot faster. I WILL say that I think I would have liked it better if I knew anything about the show Three's Company, but I'd also say you might expect that based on the description lol. It was nice. Nice is the perfect way to describe it, actually.<br/><br/>Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the free ebook!"
