Description
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.
Breigh’s increasingly unhinged life reflects her generation’s anxieties around psychological manipulation through social media platforms. Multi-award-winning author Sara Cooper presents a wild debut novel in this incisive satire of consumerism, performative femininity, and social media.

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)
“In a deeply hilarious voice, Cooper skins capitalist, Momfluencer culture alive. It simmers with rage, and I couldn’t stop reading.”-Meredith Hambrock, author of She’s a Lamb!
"Ravenous is in conversation with twentieth-century modernist feminist literature but in a way that feels deeply, incisively now. If Jean Rhys or Djuna Barnes came back as a pregnant influencer maybe we’d get something like this satirical digital-age fever dream. Cooper dives into the void at the heart of consumer culture and turns the hurtling freefall into music."-Rachel Sheinkin, author of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
