About the book
What if you could rewrite your relationship, again and again, until it worked out?
‘A cause for celebration’ GEORGE SAUNDERS
‘A stunner of a debut’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH
'Hilarious, heart-rending, grotesque, delightful, utterly brilliant' DAISY JOHNSON
‘Exhilaratingly good’ KELLY LINK
When Myriam and Allison fall in love at a show in a run-down punk house, their relationship begins to unfold through a series of hypotheticals:
What if they became mothers by finding a baby in an alley?
What if the only cure for Myriam’s depression was Allison’s flesh?
How much darker - or sexier - would their dynamic be if one were a power-hungry CEO, and the other her lowly employee?
From the fantasies of early romance to the slow encroaching of heartbreak, each reality builds to complete a brilliant and painfully funny portrait of love’s many promises and perils.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
'Wow. I will be reading everything Myriam Lacroix puts out'
'Everything Everywhere All at Once for U-haul lesbians... I'm diving in again'
'I haven't read anything like it before... Fantastic debut'
