Publisher's summary

THE DEBUT NOVEL FROM THE BESTSELLING AND AWARD-WINNING COMEDIAN, WRITER AND ACTOR SARA PASCOE

'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

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?

Loved it

Very smart and funny and human. And sometimes sad. Sara Pascoe is totally my kind of weirdo.

Where's the comedy?

DNF through audible. So upfront, I don't know if there is actually a payout somewhere. This is the first time in the 11 years I've had audible that I've returned a book.
Geez I hope this is isn't an undercover memoir.
The first person narration in the story is told by main character Sophie. By chapter 5 she has clearly revealed herself to be a vapid, insecure narcissist with the emotional and mental range of an average public school 14yo girl. This uncomfortable scenario is sharpened by the audience's realization that while she is insufferably unaware of this reality, no one around her is. And so the audience is left to not only suffer through her nauseating idiocy but the negative long term social and familial consequences of her immaturity. Other reviewers have called her naive. She is not naive in my opinion, but is simply insipid and narcissistic.
I laughed once to some obscure reference. This at no point resembled a comedy to me. I am disappointed that I wasted two hours listening through Chapter 13.
I've heard this novel called brilliant, but it is utter rubbish in my opinion. If you enjoy deep literature, do not waste your time.
