Her less glamorous and ostensibly devoted husband, Ethan, is a forgotten novelist and lecturer in the same department. According to Simone and Ethan, and everyone on campus, their marriage is perfect. That is, until Ethan sleeps with the department administrative assistant, Abigail, and the couple's faith in their flawless relationship is rattled. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Simone, meanwhile, has secrets of her own. While Ethan's away for the summer, she grows inordinately close with her advisee, graduate student Roberta \"Robbie\" Green. In Robbie, Simone finds a new running partner, confidante, and disciple--or so she believes. Behind Simone's back, Robbie fictionalizes her mentor's marriage in a breathtakingly invasive MFA thesis. Determined to tell her version of the story, Robbie paints a revealing portrait of Simone, Ethan, Abigail, and even herself, scratching at the very surface of what may--or may not--be the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Simultaneously provocative and tender, \u003ci\u003eSeduction Theory\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the intoxicating nature of power and attraction, and is a masterful demonstration of how love and betrayal can coexist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Adrian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.45h x 5.79w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316584517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2025 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/20\/2025 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Adrian\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eEverything Here is Under Control\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Second Season\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the memoir \u003ci\u003eDaughterhood\u003c\/i\u003e and two critically acclaimed novels for young adults.
