For fans of Cleopatra and Frankenstein and Exciting Times, an addictive, dark and sexy debut novel about falling in love as society falls apart.

'I absolutely loved it' - Zadie Smith, author of White Teeth
'Fast, harsh, smart and fun' - Guardian

Electrifying and darkly funny, Mariel Franklin's debut Bonding is a uniquely modern story of sex, tech and freedom in the messy tangle of our digital age.

Mary is single, jobless, and on her way to Ibiza.

There, at a party, she meets Tom, a brilliant chemist on the verge of launching a new drug that claims to cure the anxieties of modern life.

Back in London after a heady trip, Mary begins going out with Tom and working for her sort-of-ex Lara, who has created innovative dating app designed to revolutionize the industry. As tech and pharma collide, she is forced to question what love and success mean in a world that is hurtling out of control.

'Genuinely thrilling deep-dive into the dystopian future in which we now live' – Saba Sams, author of Gunk
