Synopsis
While engaged in some mild flirtation at a party, Josie, a middle-aged New York psychotherapist, suddenly decides that her seemingly stable marriage is over. Meanwhile, her rock star friend, Raquel, becomes the target of an internet character assassination over her affair with a younger actor with a pregnant girlfriend. In the midst of their crises, the two women travel to Mexico City, one fleeing from hedonism, the other towards it. What could easily turn into a simple story of female friendship and affirmation becomes instead, in Kate Christenson's dexterous hands, a novel that explores the devilish complexities of sex, identity, and the fractured psychology and morals of our contemporary world.

Publisher's Note
Fleeing to Mexico City for a holiday retreat in the wake of a crumbled marriage and a scandalous affair, former college friends Josie and Raquel experience opportunities to discover their sexual selves while grappling with realizations about how sex has compromised their pasts.

Industry reviews
"Bewitching readers with a narcotic blend of eroticism and suspense, Christensen raises unsettling questions about our inability to understand ourselves or others and marvels over our consuming fascination with ritualized confrontation..."
 (03/01/2009)

"Kate Christensen's deliciously detailed novel, TROUBLE, is, in a word, divine....[She] takes the reader on a wild, vividly drawn, psychological, sexual and cross-cultural ride....[I]f you enjoy reading about female characters whose relationships and lives are complex and difficult - in other words, real women - pick up a copy of this scrumptious novel and vote with your wallet for more of the same."
