"No one understands the misery and hilarity of being alive better
than Lucie Britsch ... Writing like this takes talent and the most
tender of hearts." JEAN KYOUNG FRAZIER, author of PIZZA GIRL All
her life, Susan's loved ones have been hiding a terrible secret
from her: If she thinks too hard, her head will explode. Luckily,
her devoted boyfriend, anxious parents and fierce best friend are
prepared to do whatever it takes to keep Susan safe in ignorant,
thoughtless bliss. And until now, Susan has lived happily in a
bubble of TV and takeaways, social media and small talk; anything
to distract her from the spiralling thoughts that so often haunt
the rest of us - thoughts that would be deadly for her. But what
happens when reality creeps in and Susan's perfectly curated world
starts to crumble? Can we distract ourselves from the real world
forever... and should we? Praise for Lucie Britsch 'Surprising and
irreverent' NEW YORK TIMES 'A strangely exuberant meditation on
sadness' REFINERY29 'A whip-smart, biting piece of tragicomedy...
Hilarious, profound' HUFFINGTON POST 'A wicked satire of our
obsession with happiness' THE i 'A tragicomic riot of a book -
charging, foul-mouthed and tender' CLAUDIA DEY 'Like a grown up
Daria' HELEN MCCLORY 'If you're a Halle Butler fan or like despair
cut with humour, you'll love this' LEIGH STEIN 'Dark and hilarious'
