About The World to See
When teenager Nadine Harvey helps her best friend hide a disturbing secret, she's also concealing her own deepest truth: she'll do almost anything to be wanted. Five years and three thousand miles later, Nadine is thrilled when her idol, Celeste—a rock singer known as "the oracle"—befriends her.
As Celeste's career begins to falter, she launches a bold program encouraging women to speak their truths. Nadine eagerly becomes her business partner, but as their ambitions clash, their alliance starts to unravel.

Praise for The World to See
"Handler brings her trademark scything gaze and compassionate understanding of human nature to this vivid tale of two women navigating their relationships with their mothers, their entwined histories, and their music. Her nuanced exploration of how art, lies, and community shape female identity is lived out by characters so real, I had to remind myself that they were fictional. This is a powerful, compulsively readable story that will stay with me for a very long time."
—Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Never Have I Ever and With My Little Eye

"The World to See is an intricately crafted portrayal of mothers and daughters felled by loneliness and longing for connection. Handler's use of artful metaphors delights the reader while highlighting the complexities of female identity and relationships. These vivid characters exploring and claiming their stories will stay with you long after you finish the book."
