In an age where online ratings are all-powerful, this novel follows the adventures of a top-rated man on the Rental Stranger app - a place where users can hire a pretend fiancé, a wingman, or an extra mourner for a funeral. But, when a nosy patron threatens to upend his long-term role as father to a young girl, Stranger begins to reckon with his attachment to his pretend daughter, her mother, and his own fraught past. Now, he must confront the boundaries he has drawn and explore the legacy of abandonment that shaped his life.
