'THE FUNNIEST BOOK YOU'LL EVER READ ABOUT GRIEF' MAGGIE SHIPSTEAD

'SHIMMERS WITH WIT EVEN AS IT EXPLORES DEEP LOSS' RACHEL KHONG

When Julia’s first-love-turned-best-friend Gabe, a musician with a cultish following, dies unexpectedly aged 29, Julia launches herself into an intercontinental quest to recover the possessions he left with friends and acquaintances across the world.

Along the way, she encounters Elizabeth, Gabe’s effortlessly perfect and endlessly cool last ex-girlfriend. Now, Julia can’t stop talking to, thinking about and googling Elizabeth. As the two women struggle to reconcile their respective claims on Gabe’s memory, can they find their way from rivalry to friendship?
