Description
A brilliant debut from a neurodiverse author that explores a young woman’s magical, sensitive, and passionate inner world.
A young woman gets ready to go to a party. She arrives, feels overwhelmed, leaves, and then returns. Minutely attuned to the people who come into her view, and alternating between alienation and profound connection, she is hilarious, self-aware, sometimes acerbic, and always honest. And by the end of the night, she’s shown us something radical about love, loss, and the need to belong.
- Commended for its nuanced portrayal of a neurodiverse protagonist: ‘A delicious slice of life on the spectrum’ Naoise Dolan, ‘Unlike anything else you’ll find this year’ The Independent, ‘Beautifully shatters myths and stereotypes’ Shelf Awareness.
- From Convenience Store Woman to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, we are fascinated by stories of women who think differently.
