"The Guilt Pill is the answer to the age-old question of whether a woman can do it all--and whether she should. A powerful rallying cry, a juicy glimpse into startup and influencer culture, and a surprising, intimate portrait of a family strained to breaking by the weight on a new mother's shoulders. Saumya Dave has written a book that's as addictive as its untested supplement. You'll want to share it with everyone you know." --Katie Gutierrez, bestselling author of More Than You'll Ever Know
"The Guilt Pill is book club fiction at its finest, a story full of complicated characters you can't help rooting for. An incisive, ominous, and ultimately hopeful take on the all-too-pervasive guilt that accompanies motherhood, this one is not to be missed. I can't wait to read whatever Dave writes next." --Stephanie Wrobel, internationally bestselling author of The Hitchcock Hotel
"A gripping and deeply empathetic portrayal of modern-day motherhood... [The Guilt Pill] will have readers thinking about Maya's story long after they've turned the final page." --Kirthana Ramisetti, author of GMA book club pick Dava Shastri's Last Day
"The Guilt Pill is a brilliant meditation on modern-day motherhood and what happens when women are pushed beyond their limits. Saumya Dave masterfully explores the complexities and absurdities of early motherhood, confidently walking the line between satirical and all-too-real. The Guilt Pill is bold, sly, suspenseful, and bitingly funny. Everyone is going to be talking about this book." --Julia Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Writing Retreat
