Summary
Natalie left her remote, forested hometown for her first year of university in Toronto. Everyone she encounters seems determined, confident what they want from life. Natalie reads advice listicles and watches videos online and thinks about how to fit in, how to really become someone, who that someone even is. When she meets Nora, an older woman, Natalie begins spending time off-campus at Nora's perfect home living in her beautiful, quiet world. She lies to her floormates about her absence, inventing a secret boyfriend called Paul. When it becomes clear that Nora is lying, too, her secrets begin to take an insidious shape in Natalie's life, even as Natalie tries to look away. What, or who, is Nora hiding?
