About this ebook
THE DEBUT NOVEL FROM THE BESTSELLING AND AWARD-WINNING COMEDIAN, WRITER AND ACTOR SARA PASCOE
WINNER OF THE JILLY COOPER AWARD 2025
'Moving and bittersweet and clever . . . I love it.' EMMA JANE UNSWORTH
'Hilarious and heartbreaking at every sentence.' CARIAD LLOYD
'Quietly profound and laughing-in-public funny.' CAITLIN MORAN
'A tragicomic masterpiece.' DAISY BUCHANAN
'A deep meditation on how it feels to be lost - in your relationship, your family, your job and even your own mind.' ELIZABETH DAY
'Funny, sad, engaging, Pascoe nails everything that confronts women today.' STYLIST
'Funny and deeply relatable.' GUARDIAN
'A tremendously exciting voice.' THE TIMES
'An incredible read.' AISLING BEA
I hope since our chat he thinks I'm normal . . . I told him that I was several times.
Deep in Essex and her own thoughts, Sophie had a feeling something was going to happen and then it did. Chris has entered the pub and re-entered her life. Just as she's finally stopped thinking about him. Now Sophie has a chance at creating a happier ending and paying off her emotional debts (if not her financial ones). All she has to do is act exactly like a normal person and not say any of her inner monologue out loud. If she can suppress her light paranoia and pathological lying, maybe she'll even end up getting the guy she wants?
What readers are saying:
'Acutely and profoundly observed.'
'Brilliantly relatable and painfully honest.'
'A book that will make you laugh, think, and feel a little bit better about being yourself.'
'A funny, insightful and unusual perspective on growing into yourself.'
'This is one of the best novels I've read in a long time.'
