Description

Breigh is a hot elder millennial who is obsessed with the brands she is ambassading for. Her policy is YES, and her livestreams are viral. But she’s pregnant now, and her body’s changing. It's not that she's hungry. She's definitely not depressed. She just sometimes eats boxes of makeup before passing out.

Daddy’s bought a brand new home for Breigh and Baby, complete with a Greenguard Gold-certified, twice-imported velvet infant chaise — but is he cheating on her with a hotter, younger coworker? Breigh has to get Baby out before it ruins her. She has to create more and better content than the other momfluencers. She has to unbox something new. She has to unbox … Baby! Baby approves of her seven-step marketing plan. Welcome to #LiveBirth.

Advance Praise

“Ravenous follows a young woman who has built her world and identity around her daily livestreams, where she voraciously ‘unboxes’ the mountains of products that are delivered to her door. The result is a stunning portrait of contemporary life that hits the sweet spot between comedy and tragedy and leads to an ending that leaves not only the products and characters, but the readers, ‘unboxed’.”

— Deborah Brevoort , author The Women of Lockerbie and other plays

“Incisive, propulsive, and darkly funny. Cooper’s vibrant language buzzes at a frenetic pace, articulating the pleasure and pain of what it means to consume and be consumed. Obsessed.”

— Tiffany Morris , author of Green Fuse Burning

“A perfect blend of the insanity and comedy of what it is to be alive and pregnant today. Cooper’s lyrical use of language is stunning.”

— Mindi Dickstein , lyricist of Little Women (Broadway)
