The Book of Dion: A Novel

A charismatic relationship influencer is exposed as a master manipulator—bringing together all the women he's lied to and strung along—in this razor-sharp debut that interrogates intimacy, power, and the stories we tell to appear perfect.

Dion Watkins is a relationship podcaster and influencer revered for his insight into modern love. But behind the scenes, he is messily entangled with a network of women: Eve, his introverted wife; Victoria, who is pregnant with his child; Sierra, his college girlfriend who's never recovered from their time together. And they are only a few of the women caught in Dion’s orbit.

When a bombshell news report exposes Dion's infidelity just weeks before the relationship conference he has organized to cement his brand, his carefully balanced world collapses. In response, all the women who have loved, trusted, dated, or barely escaped Dion must decide how to pick up the pieces of their lives, each reckoning with the fallout of Dion's insatiable ambition and deception.

Fresh, funny, and empowering, The Book of Dion is a fierce debut set in the heart of Atlanta's vibrant social scene and celebrating what happens when women step into their own.
