Ayla Navarro is twenty-four, Puerto Rican-Turkish, and freshly heartbroken in a six-hundred-square-foot apartment in Brooklyn. She has a freelance copywriting job, a purple couch she found on the sidewalk, and Atlas - a rescue shepherd mix with amber eyes and opinions about everything.
Especially the men she dates.
When Atlas growls, she walks away. When he approves, she leans in. For a year and a half, the system works. Evan the finance guy: immediate tribunal. Jayden the photographer: cautious warning. Lucas the chef who love-bombed her with twelve-course dinners: full alarm. Noah the steady software engineer: nothing which turns out to be its own kind of answer.
Then Atlas sits down next to Malik Hassan, an urban planner who fixes a broken fire hydrant on her block and uses her 311 report to ask her for coffee, and stays there. Immediately. Without the process.
Which should be the answer Ayla has been waiting for.
Except her vet has a theory. And her best friend Sofia has a theory. And the more Ayla thinks about it, the more she realizes: Atlas was never reading them.
He was reading her.
A warm, sharp, funny novel about modern dating in New York City, the difference between anxiety and instinct, and learning to trust yourself again after you have spent a very long time trusting everything else first.
Perfect for fans of contemporary romance, women's fiction, and emotional coming-of-age stories set in New York City.
Dogs respond to anxiety. They're not reading the other person. They're reading you.
