“Every sentence of Monica Heisey’s writing is a treat. No one makes me laugh like she does.” —Dolly Alderton, New York Times bestselling author of Everything I Know About Love

A hilarious and painfully relatable debut novel about one woman’s messy search for joy and meaning in the wake of an unexpected breakup, from comedian, essayist, and award-winning screenwriter Monica Heisey
Maggie is fine. She’s doing really good, actually. Sure, she’s broke, her graduate thesis on something obscure is going nowhere, and her marriage only lasted 608 days, but at the ripe old age of twenty-nine, Maggie is determined to embrace her new life as a Surprisingly Young Divorcée™.
Now she has time to take up nine hobbies, eat hamburgers at 4 am, and “get back out there” sex-wise. With the support of her tough-loving academic advisor, Merris; her newly divorced friend, Amy; and her group chat (naturally), Maggie barrels through her first year of single life, intermittently dating, occasionally waking up on the floor and asking herself tough questions along the way.
Laugh-out-loud funny and filled with sharp observations, Really Good, Actually is a tender and bittersweet comedy that lays bare the uncertainties of modern love, friendship, and our search for that thing we like to call “happiness”. This is a remarkable debut from an unforgettable new voice in fiction.
“A prime example of how a storyteller's voice can pull you right in and keep you clinging to every sentence. . . . This is a book I will give to my closest girlfriends and say, ‘You have to read this.’” — Zibby Owens, GoodMorningAmerica.com
“Tremendously funny and thoughtful.” –GQ

Genre on varmaan fiksu chick lit. Päähenkilö eroaa alle 30v ja sitä sitten vatvotaan. Kirja on täynnä huvittavia lausahduksia. SPOILERI: kirjassa on erikoista tähän genreen se, että päähenkilö ei ole mikään luuseri vaan elämässäpärjäävä ihan suosittu ihminen. Ja kirja ei lopu siihen, että hän saa miehen. Kyllä tälle 3.5 antaa mieluusti.

Pitkäveteinen, toistaa itseään, juoni puuttuu, kertojan sarkastinen sävy alkaa väsyttää, ei hauska ja negatiivinen tunnelma. Kadun seitsemää tuntia jotka tuhlasin tämän kuunteluun, lopetin kesken.
