From international cult author, Tea Hačić-Vlahović, comes a dark literary comedy celebrating and damning both coasts, following Val from LA where drug dealer crushes and cute homeless boys distract her from writing her next book, to NYC for a funeral for her writing career and love life. Val's debut hit novel earned her a glamorous beach house, but it left her desperate for legitimacy. Now, she’s pinned her hope for literary clout to Leonardo, a New York publishing legend, who has accepted her second novel. Unfortunately, before he finishes editing, he dies in a shocking twist, leaving Val to attend his memorial in search of answers. At the Roxy Hotel in NYC, she runs into rivals and shady people from her past and befriends a rat, who may or may not be the late editor reincarnated. Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, a homeless kid and drug dealer meet under unlikely circumstances, in Val’s living room. Doom looms on the horizon, as people on both coasts try to make peace with their ambitions, failures and horoscopes. For readers of Anna Dorn’s Exalted and Mona Awad’s Bunny, Give Me Danger is a keening exploration of what happens when success is not enough.
