Books like Animal husbandry by Laura Zigman


When Jane Goodall—an ambitious prime‑time talk‑show producer—falls for executive producer Ray, the romance lands on precarious footing. With Ray’s abrupt disappearance, Jane finds herself homeless and impulsively moving in with Eddie Alden, a charismatic yet womanizing coworker. Immersed in the world of Hollywood hustle, Jane turns to Darwin and observation notes to investigate the quirky rituals of attraction, her friends’ ill‑fated matches, and her own longing. The novel offers a lighthearted examination of love, commitment, and the odd science of human attachment, all set against the backdrop of New York’s television industry.
