Guardian Electrifying and darkly funny Mariel Franklin's debut Bonding is a uniquely modern
story of sex tech and freedom in the messy tangle of our digital age. Mary is single
jobless and on her way to Ibiza. There at a party she meets Tom a brilliant chemist on the
verge of launching a new drug that claims to cure the anxieties of modern life. Back in London
after a heady trip Mary begins going out with Tom and working for her sort-of-ex Lara who has
created innovative dating app designed to revolutionize the industry. As tech and pharma
collide she is forced to question what love and success mean in a world that is hurtling out
of control. 'Genuinely thrilling deep-dive into the dystopian future in which we now live' -
