Life has its ups and downs. From the author of The Universe Versus Alex Woods comes a dark, painful and witty novel about a woman whose life is spiralling out of control.
You're going to find some of my actions frustrating. I'm hard to live with, maddening, uneven - I get that. But I can't stand around listing my faults or we'll be here for ever. All I ask right now is that you indulge me. For as long as it lasts, this is going to be one hell of a ride.

Gavin Extence's debut novel The Universe Versus Alex Woods made our top 10 in 2013. Now, here comes this wonderful second book in which the endearing, fascinating protagonist, Abby, spirals into mental illness.
It is obvious while reading that Extence has had some personal experience with depression and hypomania, and his author's note goes into that. This no doubt makes the character of Abby that much more real.
Although the subject matter is serious, there are a lot of laughs in this. Told with empathy, compassion and wonderful wit, this charmed us completely and cemented Extence as a favourite author. Just as with The Universe versus Alex Woods, this story is going to stay with me for a long, long time.
