Maybe my main character will slowly lose their mind too. Novels usually need an abandoned woman going crazy in them. It's gonna be, like, a sad girl novel.
An Australian expat in Berlin, Kim is jobless, rootless, and - as she's slowly discovering - somewhat useless.
That is until a chance encounter with Matthew, a hotshot New York literary agent, gives Kim the direction she's been craving. This year she will:
- Finally write her novel
- Decide what said novel is actually about
- Romantically pin down the increasingly flighty Matthew
- Be less jealous of sharing attention with best friend Bel's baby
- Convince her therapist that the amount of artichokes she eats doesn't classify as an eating disorder
- Stay sane in the process of achieving the above
Because Kim's story will not become a sad girl novel.
Definitely not.
A laugh-out-loud-funny, addictive book book about growing up, finding your purpose and whether everyone really does have a novel within them, for fans of MONICA HEISEY, OTTESSA MOSHFEGH and COCO MELLORS.
