With his debut memoir, Venus Juice: When I Tried to Live in LA, author and mystic Luke Simon takes readers on a neo-nostalgic trip into the LA wellness scene of the late 2010s, a land of luxury juice, natural healing, and digital hookups. Looking for Love, Creativity, and trying to make it as an Instagram healer, on the surface, the City of Angels seems to hold the keys to all that he seeks—but is everything what it seems?
Known among wellness circles as a co-founder of Maha Rose Center for the Healing in Brooklyn, Simon’s story explores friendship, celebrity, queer romance, and the social media hustle that has come to color our experiences of love and creativity in the new millennium. And at the center of it all, we find one soul learning the meaning of self-love in our increasingly divided and digitized world.
