The Guilt Pill
When high-flying Maya Patel is offered a pill to rid her of female guilt, she finally achieves everything she’s ever wanted. But she soon finds the pill has a dangerous downside…
If a pill could free you of guilt … would you take it?
From the outside, Maya Patel’s life looks perfect. She has a beautiful baby, the company she founded is going stratospheric, and her Instagram is filled with pics of her handsome, successful husband in their luxurious NYC apartment.
But that’s far from the truth.
Maya’s company is about to implode as she juggles work and her newborn and she has no time left to connect with family or friends, let alone for self-care. If she could just be a better boss, mother, wife, daughter, friend… Maybe she wouldn’t feel so guilty all the time.
So when Maya’s mentor offers her a magic pill, it’s goodbye guilt, hello Maya 2.0. Free from childcare worries and imposter syndrome, she can finally become the high-flying #girlboss the world sees.
But the more pills Maya takes, the less she feels. And as Maya falls deeper down the pill’s guilt-free rabbit hole, she discovers a dangerous secret that could destroy everything she’s worked so hard to build…
A smart, addictive, relatable read that fans of The Other Black Girl, The Herd and The School for Good Mothers won’t be able to put down.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
