About The Book
In 2060, the WellPod is the latest launch from the largest tech company the world has ever seen—a fleet of floating personal paradises scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean, focused entirely on health, solitude, and relaxation. Created by an enigmatic founder who will stop at nothing to ensure her company’s success, it is the long-awaited pinnacle of wellness technology. For newly pregnant Maggie, the six-week program is the perfect chance to get away…especially since the baby isn’t her partner’s.
Noa Behar isn’t a perfect fiancée. She’s too distracted, too focused on her work in helping program the WellPod to give Maggie the attention she deserves. But when she discovers something rotten beneath WellPod’s shiny exterior—a history of faulty tech and dangerous cover-ups—she knows one thing: she’ll do whatever it takes to keep Maggie safe.
The problem? The malfunctioning WellPods are already at sea. And there’s a storm coming...
Why We Love It
“As these three women—Maggie, Noa, and Emmett—cross paths throughout Leslie Stephen’s carefully-spun plot, we are constantly struck by their complexity, their desires, their hopes, their ambitions, and their secrets. From the very first page, Leslie uses her background in lifestyle media and tech addiction counseling to craft a near-future world that feels like both a premonition and a warning, but with such exquisite detail it keeps you constantly surprised. As you disappear further into it, you begin to wonder just how far each woman will go to achieve the life she ultimately seeks for herself, and what that world might look like—all while asking yourself the very same thing.”
—Taylor R., Assistant Editor, on You’re Safe Here

With deliciously paced storytelling sprinkled with secrets galore, Leslie Stephens’s debut promises to guide you through uncertain waters with grace and authority." —Thao Thai, author of BANYAN MOON, a #ReadwithJenna pick
