But they are bound by a shared obsession with Jen, a beautiful former co-worker of Remy's who now seems to be following her bliss as a globe-trotting jewelry designer. In and outside the bedroom, Remy and Alicia's entire relationship revolves around fantasies of Jen, whose every Instagram caption, outfit, and new age mantra they know by heart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Imagine their confused excitement when they run into Jen, in the flesh, and she invites them on a surfing trip to the Hamptons with her wealthy boyfriend and their group. Once there, Remy and Alicia try (a little too hard) to fit into Jen's exalted social circle, but violent desire and class resentment bubble beneath the surface of this beachside paradise, threatening to erupt. As small disturbances escalate into outright horror, we find ourselves tumbling with Remy and Alicia into an uncanny alternate reality, one shaped by their most unspeakable, deviant, and intoxicating fantasies. Is this what \"self-actualization\" looks like? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Part millennial social comedy, part psychedelic horror, and all wildly entertaining, \u003ci\u003eA Touch of Jen\u003c\/i\u003e is a sly, unflinching examination of the hidden drives that lurk just outside the frame of our carefully curated selves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeth Morgan grew up outside Sherman, Texas and studied writing as an undergraduate at Sarah Lawrence College.
