'Gluttonous, audacious and altogether a delectable work of genius' Lucy Rose Lena's body is no longer her own. It is occupied by a growing appetite, a hunger that demands to be fed. From inside her luxury apartment, Lena tries to appease it gorging herself day and night. Whole loaves of bread, protein shakes - tins of cat food if all else fails. When Joan, an actress on the cusp of stardom, moves into the apartment above, Lena is quick to make friends. She soon finds herself in Joan's orbit enjoying the trappings of wealth and privilege, the kind she has always pined for. But with the hunger demanding more and more, Lena's carefully constructed image of herself starts to unravel. And as her appetite veers into the inedible, she must fight to remember who she is. Milk, Bread Teeth is an unflinching exploration of dissatisfaction and loneliness, a deliciously grim and transgressive tale that draws the reader into a frenzy of insatiable desire and consumption. It's a propulsive and shocking novel that is inspired by Amy's experiences with chronic illness and her place in publishing as a working-class woman.

There are two types of those who want to forget and those who would do anything to remember. Jamie Kessler wants to remember. After a car accident wipes away most of her memories, she's left with fragments of a life she no longer recognizes. Confused and overwhelmed, Jamie undergoes an experimental procedure to recapture lost memories. With each recollection, she pieces together a feeling that something—or someone—is clinging to her heart and won't let go. One name keeps coming up and is impossible to forget, Mallory Ziegler. The woman she met in an AOL chatroom when she was nineteen, the woman she fell madly in love with, and the woman she somehow lost. The more she digs, the deeper she falls for Mallory and embraces the love that memory never erased. But some memories were buried for a reason, and the pain and betrayal she discovers could completely change the direction of her life.
