Synopsis

What if you could rewrite your relationship, again and again, until it works out?

‘A stunner of a debut’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH
‘A cause for celebration’ GEORGE SAUNDERS
‘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'

'Hilarious, heart-rending... Utterly brilliant' DAISY JOHNSON

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?

What if they were B-list celebrities, famous for writing a book about building healthy lesbian relationships?

How much darker - or sexier - would their dynamic be if one were a power-hungry CEO, and the other her lowly employee?
