Trust Exercise: A Novel by Susan Choi
$16.99
Trust Exercise by Pulitzer Prize finalist Susan Choi is a bold, layered novel that pushes the boundaries of storytelling while exploring the lasting impact of adolescence. Set in the charged environment of a competitive performing arts high school in the 1980s, the story follows students whose lives revolve around intense friendships, complicated desires, and the blurred lines between consent, power, and vulnerability.
What begins as a tale of teenage entanglements slowly transforms into something far more unexpected. Choi disrupts the narrative midway, revealing new truths, reframing earlier events, and challenging readers to reconsider everything they’ve been told. Through shifting perspectives and deliberate ambiguity, she exposes how stories are shaped—by who tells them, who is believed, and who is silenced.
Both daring and emotionally resonant, Trust Exercise examines memory, manipulation, and the lingering reverberations of youth. It’s a novel that invites conversation long after the final page, perfect for readers who appreciate complex characters and innovative storytelling.
