What You Make of Me (2025)
A novel by Sophie Madeline Dess

In this mesmerizing debut from a bright new talent, two enigmatic and unforgettable siblings confront what ¨C and who ¨C they¡¯re willing to sacrifice for their art

¡®Sophie Madeline Dess has conjured one of the most unique and heartbreaking family narratives in recent memory, and with her rendering of the dynamic between Ava and Demetri, she¡¯s given us a sibling duo for the ages.¡¯ ¡ª Sam Lipsyte, New York Times bestselling author of The Ask and No One Left to Come Looking for You

On the eve of her first solo show, Ava is feeling defiant. The art gallery acolytes have insisted on writing ¡®explanations¡¯ of her paintings for an accompanying catalog, but what do they know of her work? What do they know of her brother, Demetri, whose face echoes across every canvas?

After all, Ava and Demetri have only ever had each other. Abandoned first by their mother, who drowned in the Long Island Sound, and then again by their father, who couldn¡¯t see beyond his grief, each sibling has always been the other¡¯s most ardent supporter: Demetri encouraged Ava¡¯s raw talent as a painter, while Ava pushed Demetri to pursue filmmaking. But as they make their way in New York, the codependency that once sustained them soon threatens to be their undoing. Betrayals mount, fueled by Ava¡¯s reckless acts and her disdain for Demetri¡¯s last-ditch efforts to make something of consequence, but what ultimately and irreversibly tips the scales won¡¯t be found on canvas or film. Because now, at thirty-one, Demetri is dying.
