The hottest debut novel of 2023 from Schitts Creek and Smothered screenwriter and an Observer debut author of the year, Monica Heisey.
Maggies marriage has ended just 608 days after it started, but shes fine shes doing really good, actually. Sure, shes alone for the first time and cant afford her rent and her obscure PhD is going nowhere but at the age of twenty-nine, Maggie is determined to embrace her new status as a Surprisingly Young Divorcée.
As Maggie throws herself headlong into the chaos of her first year of divorce, she soon finds herself questioning everything, including: Why do we still get married? Did I fail before I even got started? And how many 4am delivery burgers do I need to eat until I am happy?
Really Good, Actually is an irresistible debut novel about the uncertainties of modern love, friendship and happiness.
