PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the cover ofFull Bloom, publishing this summer.

“Reeling from a breakup and overlooked at her job as a lighting designer, Iris Sunnegren finds herself stuck, disconnected and lonely in crowded New York City,” a synopsis reads. “Her wealthy friends are married and having babies, while she’s trying to pay for freezing her eggs. And the future she longs for feels out of reach.”

Iris’ mysterious, older French woman neighbor gifts her a bespoke perfume, and the scent leaves her feeling like a different woman after just one spritz.

But all is not sweet-smelling for Iris. The power of the perfume also awakens Iris’ buried memories and “nightmares of the childhood house fire she barely survived return to haunt her.”

“As Iris ventures deeper into the glamorous and male-dominated worlds of New York real estate, dimly-lit steakhouses and beachfront mansions in the Hamptons, she finds herself getting closer to unspeakable truths — about the people she trusted, about the people she loved and about the new circle of power players that invited her in,” the synopsis teases.
