Overview

Newlywed Rosie has grown disenchanted with NYC. Inspired by Instagram ads, she starts thirsting for a rural life upstate one full of beauty and authenticity. Willing to do anything for Rosie's happiness, her tech-bro husband, Jordan, acquiesces to her vision for the future, and they offer well above asking price on a beautiful, historic fixer-upper in the Hudson Valley. But when Jordan suddenly loses his job on the day they close the deal, the couple is forced to rent out the property's dilapidated outbuilding. Enter Dylan and Lark: an incredibly attractive and handy queer couple who offer to rent the outbuilding and help Rosie and Jordan with repairs. They're living the life Rosie had envisioned for herself: hand-built furniture, herbal tinctures, guinea hens, and hand-dyed linens. Rosie grows increasingly infatuated with their new tenants, especially with model-esque and charismatic Dylan to Jordan's increasing distress.

Sexy, surprising, witty and beautifully written-Trust and Safety is a complete delight from start to finish -- Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Spare Room and We Were Never Here Trust and Safety is distressingly smart, wickedly sly, and side-clutchingly hilarious - I was howling! I simply could not turn away. Blackett and Gleichman achieve the best kind of storytelling: the type that forces you to contend with their characters' choices, then holds up a mirror so you're implicated in their foibles and bad decision-making - all while demanding that you turn the page because you simply must know how it ends. What a brilliantly observed and witty take on the sometimes absurd ways we choose to live. And how blessedly and wonderfully gay -- Vanessa Chan, author of The Storm We Made What happens when we try to live the life that Instagram is selling us? This is the question that Trust and Safety hilariously-and poignantly-asks. In answering it, Laura Blackett and Eve Gleichman spare no one, taking aim at everyone from tech bros to overbearing mothers. It's a smart, funny, and timely exploration of what happens when our obsessions get the better of us, and when we discover that authenticity is not as authentic as it seems -- Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding Laugh-out-loud... If you want a book that perfectly evokes millennial sexual politics under late-stage capitalism, and in which all of us - gay, straight, cis, and trans alike - are read for absolute filth, then look no further than Trust and Safety -- Rafael Frumkin, author of Confidence and Bugsy Irresistibly hilarious and weird, sexy and surprising, and gently profound, Trust and Safety delighted me at every turn and delivered razor-sharp insights into our contemporary search for authenticity, beauty, and the perfect vintage doorknob -- Jenny Fran Davis, author of Dykette

Blackett and Gleichman have an extraordinary talent for getting to the heart of what makes a character so horribly human, our hypocrisies and basest desires. Trust and Safety is wickedly funny, astute and brilliantly, terribly relatable... I could not put it down -- Laura Kay, author of Wild Things and Making It Sexy, surprising, witty and beautifully written-Trust and Safety is a complete delight from start to finish -- Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Spare Room and We Were Never Here Trust and Safety is distressingly smart, wickedly sly, and side-clutchingly hilarious - I was howling!
