SYNOPSIS
Lucy has been writing her dissertation on Sappho for nine years when she and her boyfriend break up in a dramatic flameout. After she bottoms out in Phoenix, her sister in Los Angeles insists Lucy dog-sit for the summer. Annika's home is a gorgeous glass cube on Venice Beach, but Lucy can find little relief from her anxiety — not in the Greek chorus of women in her love addiction therapy group, not in her frequent Tinder excursions, not even in Dominic the foxhound's easy affection.
Everything changes when Lucy becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer while sitting alone on the beach rocks one night. But when Lucy learns the truth about his identity, their relationship, and Lucy’s understanding of what love should look like, take a very unexpected turn. A masterful blend of vivid realism and giddy fantasy, pairing hilarious frankness with pulse-racing eroticism, THE PISCES is a story about falling in obsessive love with a merman: a figure of Sirenic fantasy whose very existence pushes Lucy to question everything she thought she knew about love, lust, and meaning in the one life we have.

REVIEWS
Romance dos tempos modernos?
Ana C. Oliveira
Este não é um livro vulgar, muito pelo contrário. É uma história de depressão, de amor e de sexo. É a história de Lucy, que termina uma relação de muitos anos e que não consegue levar a sua tese de doutoramento a bom porto. Para se afastar dos seus problemas, aceita ficar a tratar do cão da sua irmã enquanto ela viaja, e sai do deserto para a praia, onde conhece um homem muito invulgar. Apesar de ser um livro um tanto louco e, por vezes, um pouco surreal, a verdade é que muita gente se irá identificar com as dúvidas e as más decisões de Lucy. A primeira parte da história é muito forte, a segunda perde com algumas escolhas de Melissa Broder. Aconselho a quem quiser ler algo divertido e sinistro, uma coisa nova mas muito próxima.
