“Incidentals is a deeply nuanced, heartfelt, and hilarious portrait of a marriage—disguised as a delicious true crime story and set against the shimmering backdrop of the kind of Maldivian resort we all fantasize about escaping to. Sheila Yasmin Marikar writes with such wit and empathy, you don’t know whether to laugh, gasp, or highlight every line. I didn’t want this novel to end.”—Amy Chozick, New York Times bestselling author of Chasing Hillary

“Incidentals filled the White Lotus-shaped hole in my heart. With an exotic setting in the Maldives, the most luxurious amenities you can imagine, and drama for days, it is truly the perfect escape (minus the murder, of course). Clever, snarky, and edge-of-your-seat entertaining, Incidentals is one of those books that I didn’t want to end! I can’t wait to see what Marikar does next.”—Sara Ochs, author of The Resort
