Description
The thrilling new novel of friendship and dangerous obsession from Asako Yuzuki, the award-winning author of the global sensation Butter – now with extra bite! Eriko's got it all: loving parents, a swanky apartment, and a killer job in seafood trading.
Her latest gig? Bringing the controversial Nile perch back to Japan. Ambitious? Absolutely. But behind closed doors, she's desperately lonely.
Enter Shoko - a refreshingly real housewife whose blog about convenience-store snacks and chaotic living spaces is pure gold. When Eriko tracks her down, their friendship ignites.
But Eriko's obsession spirals into something darker. Just how far will she go to keep her best friend?
Beautifully translated by Polly Barton, Hooked is a deliciously twisted dive into food, loneliness, and what it means to be a woman in modern Japan.
A page-turner that'll have you questioning friendship itself.
