An Observer Best Debut of the Year and a No. 2 Sunday Times Bestseller, this highly anticipated debut novel from Monica Heisey, known for her work on Schitt's Creek and Workin' Moms, is both hilarious and profound. Maggie's marriage ends just 608 days in, and while she faces challenges like loneliness, financial struggles, and a stalled PhD, she embraces her new identity as a Surprisingly Young Divorcée™. Determined to navigate her first year of divorce, Maggie dives into 'sadness hobbies,' explores her dating life, and engages with her vibrant new friend Amy. As she grapples with questions about marriage, personal failure, and the pursuit of happiness, the story unfolds with laugh-out-loud moments and sharp insights. Heisey's writing captures the uncertainties of modern love, friendship, and self-discovery, making this novel irresistibly relatable. Critics have praised it as "hilarious, heart-warming, and wise," and a "Sex and The City for social media-obsessed millennials." This debut is set to be one of the most talked-about releases of 2023, showcasing a stunning new voice in fiction.
