Book Synopsis

Dazzling...Who You Might Be is a brilliant, splintery coming-of-age novel that perfectly captures the nervous thrum of adolescence and the unnerving fragility of adulthood. Gallagher is so acutely attuned to the lies (and secrets) we tell (and keep from) ourselves and others. It puts me in mind of Emma Cline and Rachel Kushner.Award-winning author Peter Ho Davies

And, across the country, Caleb, an entitled teenager, is miserable following his family's move from upper-crust San Francisco to
