First published 1987
Hanna works as a magazine editor with an ambitious idea for her next article. She wants to explore the dating crisis facing women by investigating an unconventional solution: sharing men between friends. When she approaches her friend Mahell with a proposal to share Mahell's longtime boyfriend, Hanna believes she has found the perfect research opportunity. She pitches the arrangement as a practical experiment that will give her firsthand material for her piece on male scarcity. Mahell agrees to the unusual plan, and Hanna throws herself into the arrangement with journalistic determination. But as the sharing begins, Hanna discovers that her emotional defenses are not as strong as she assumed. The clinical distance she expected to maintain crumbles as real feelings complicate what was supposed to be a professional exercise. The experiment that began as career research becomes a test of friendship, loyalty, and self-knowledge that threatens to unravel both women's lives.
