‘Funny and tender’ PANDORA SYKES

‘Sticks with you forever’ MADELINE CASH

A tragicomic and utterly original debut novel following a woman trying to make sense of her life and herself as she falls in love with her therapist.

Sylvie is only happy when she is at therapy. This is because Sylvie is in love with her therapist.

She wants to kiss her and roll around on the floor with her. She thinks about her every second they’re not together (roughly 167 hours and 10 minutes per week). Outside therapy, Sylvie has a quiet life: a job as a veterinary nurse, a tattoo artist friend and seaside walks with her brain-damaged dog, Curtains.

When her therapist delivers some devastating news, Sylvie finds she must imagine new and lasting ways of coping (that don't include being adopted by the therapist). As her world begins to open up, Sylvie wonders, is she finally ready for a bravery of feeling?
