From the author of A Good Happy Girl, a lesbian screwball comedy following two exes who turn to online dating after their dramatic split--only to end up seeing the same woman In Sweetener, recently separated wives, both named Rebecca, can't seem to disentangle their lives. Lonely and depressed, Rebecca is scraping by as a part-time cashier at an organic grocery store. Despite having less than ten dollars in her bank account, she lists herself as a sugar mama on a lesbian hookup app. Enter Charlotte, a charismatic artist who, unbeknownst to Rebecca, is also dating her wife. Meanwhile, the other Rebecca, a newly sober doctoral student, has renewed her efforts to foster a child. The catch? Because the Rebeccas are still legally married, she needs her wife to attend parenting classes with her as part of the approval process. Neither of them asks whether this means they're getting back together, but the idea alone sends Charlotte into a tailspin. As Charlotte navigates her desire for each Rebecca--or her desire for attention--her world becomes more and more Gumby-like and surreal. It doesn't help that she's been wearing a fake pregnancy belly to all of her dates, and only one of the Rebeccas knows it isn't real. Sumptuous, sticky, and slightly absurd, Sweetener brings together three women fixated on the fantasy of motherhood, and trying to figure out what kind of mother, partner, or sugar mama they want to be.
