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?
What readers are saying:
''Acutely and profoundly observed.''
''Brilliantly relatable and painfully honest.''
''A book that will make you laugh, think, and feel a little bit better about being yourself.''
''A funny, insightful and unusual perspective on growing into yourself.''
''This is one of the best novels I've read in a long time.''

What would it be like if every single thought a person could have, no matter how out of pocket and borderline psychotic, would be written down and published for other people to read? You guessed it: Stressful, confusing and fascinating. But also embarassing and exciting, like witnessing a couple you don't know scream at each other in public. If it wasn't clear: I do recommend this book.
I had mixed feelings about this book. While I really enjoyed the writing style – it felt vivid and engaging – I struggled with the characters, especially the main one, who often came across as a bit irritating. The storyline sometimes felt contextless, with missing background information, which was frustrating but also strangely fitting, since the chaotic, in-the-head perspective of the protagonist gave the book a unique atmosphere. Still, the shifting focus of the plot, especially its strong male-centered lens, didn’t work well for me and made the overall story less satisfying.
