Book Review: With Friends Like You by Amy Chozick — New Motherhood and a Twist You Won’t See Coming

August 26, 2026·36 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode is all about Amy Chozick's debut fiction novel, With Friends Like You — a sharp, darkly funny thriller about new motherhood, capitalist excess, and a narrator you can't quite trust. I'm breaking down the plot, the characters (including one seriously unsettling "Daisy"), the twist, and why it reminded me of everything from Gossip Girl to Fight Club. Plus: a little detour into my high school reading era and why I'll never rank books on Goodreads. Grab a copy and let's get into it. New episodes every Wednesday.
