About the Book
Zara is one half of a fitness-influencer power couple. She has the upscale Philadelphia home, the dream husband, and millions of followers on the country’s hottest fitness app. But behind the bright lights and bumping music, Zara desperately wants a baby—a desire her husband does not share. Despite the stress of her “ticking clock,” she says she’s fine. Happier than ever, actually.
When Zara rekindles a friendship with Oscar, an old flame, he starts questioning her all-too-cheery demeanor. Zara wants to blame Oscar’s jealousy, but his pointed observations force her to reckon with the cracks she’s been trying to ignore: her eerie and erratic health episodes, as well as the strange and mysterious incidents terrorizing her. The further her life spirals out of control, the closer she comes to the sinister truth.
Featuring haunting sound design and original music, Wedlocked is an immersive audio experience that explores the space between the lives we post, the lives we actually lead, and the forces behind a woman’s choice.

"I have to admit that not normally an audio book listener. In fact, Wedlocked was the first audio book I have listened to from start to finish. It’s a fantastic feminist thriller that has many OB-Gyn themes. The narrator and direction of the audio book are top notch. I was quickly drawn in and finished it in the matter of a few days. If you love thrillers and are fascinated by fitness influencers, this book is for you. A great escape from the feminist nightmare we’re actually living through right now."

"If you're a woman who has ever felt dismissed, unheard, or brushed off by a doctor, this story may hit especially close to home. I know it did for me. ... So while this book is a thriller, there was something deeply personal about its message that I couldn't shake."
Karen O. Moore, Instagram review
