In this dazzling debut novel about love and betrayal, a young couple moves to New York City in search of successonly to learn that the lives they dream of may come with dangerous strings attached.Julia and Evan fall in love as undergraduates at Yale. For Evan, a scholarship student from a rural Canadian town, Yale is a whole new world, and Julia blond, beautiful, and rich fits perfectly into the future he's envisioned for himself. After graduation, and on the eve of the great financial meltdown of 2008, they move together to New York City, where Evan lands a job at a hedge fund. But Julia, whose privileged upbringing grants her an easy but wholly unsatisfying job with a nonprofit, feels increasingly shut out of Evan's secretive world.With the market crashing and banks failing, Evan becomes involved in a highstakes deal at work a deal that, despite the assurances of his Machiavellian boss, begins to seem more than slightly suspicious. Meanwhile, Julia reconnects with someone from her past who offers a glimpse of a different kind of live. As the economy craters, and as Evan and Julia spin into their separate orbits, they each find that they are capable of much more good and bad than they'd ever imagined.Rich in suspense and insight, Anna Pitoniak's gripping debut reveals the fragile yet enduring nature of our connections: to one another and to ourselves. The Futures is a glittering story of a couple coming of age, and a searing portrait of what it's like to be young and full of hope in New York City, a place that so often seems determined to break us down but ultimately may be the very thing that saves us.'The next great New York novel.'Town & Country'A story that feels familiar yet wholly original, like every heartbreak ever.'Marie Claire'Pitoniak's precise and incisive powers of observation give us a book with startling grace notes ... As in earlier, seminal novels about similar 20something cohortsamong them Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City, Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho and Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jarthe city is another mirror character, a puzzle the protagonists must solve as they come to grips with their own lives.'NPR.org
