Mila can't shake her grief for the life she thought she'd have. She's broke, childless, and single. But her developing relationship with Josh, a 'sugar baby', opens her eyes to new possibilities.

Then Josh goes missing on a trip to Europe—a presumed suicide. Mila, and Josh's best friend Kyle, are devastated, yet they suspect something is amiss. Together, they feel compelled to trace Josh's steps across Budapest, Prague, and Berlin, seeking clues in his last posts online.

Yet is there one mysterious factor Mila hasn't considered?

Is running toward danger the only way for Mila to meet her true capacity? Or will it mean yet more loss?

This genre-defying stunner asks how we might make the most of our power in the face of fear, loss, and the unknown. It celebrates our ability, despite great challenges, to be intimate with others and with the world.

Sexy and smart and hyper-colour and haunted, in the most beautiful way. As I read Moon Sugar, memories and feelings from my own life and the characters' lives kept surfacing, and then sinking again. Using magic as a form of truth, Meyer has written a story that is at once pure, dark and startling as life itself. — Laura McPhee-Browne, author of Cherry Beach

Moon Sugar evokes a world that is strangely ours and recognisably something else. A wild, genre-bending ride, irradiated by grief. — Miles Allinson, author of In Moonland
