Kristen Roupenian Books in Order

Margot and Robert begin flirting through texts, but their eventual date unsettles the expectations each has formed. This short story follows attraction, discomfort, and conflicting interpretations of intimacy as an ordinary encounter exposes difficult questions about consent.

These stories examine desire, anger, guilt, and unequal power in relationships, workplaces, and family life. Ordinary encounters take disturbing or surreal turns as women navigate, endure, or enact the violence beneath familiar social and sexual expectations.
