We're jumping tomorrow

“Existential gen fic often takes itself too seriously, but the absurdist, often endearing and oddly funny story of the characters does just the opposite, accepting itself for what it is. [...] the book is a stunning read” -Rhianna Pike, wicked. magazine

Nick and Mark are 20-something nihilists with nothing but Thursday evenings, a mattress caving under the weight of their own thoughts. In one final attempt to find the meaning of life, they give themselves a week to search. If they fail, they jump.

We’re Jumping Tomorrowis an intimate novella designed to be read in one sitting, like stumbling upon a stranger’s tragic story online, finding empathy for them, and then scrolling away. Combining sharp cynicism with raw, visual prose, it captures the battle with mental illness and the quiet desperation of young adulthood.

Though darkness and pessimism spread throughout... pretty much the whole thing, an unshakable sense of humor and self-deprecation stand firm, reflecting this generation’s ability to face even the most gruesome thoughts with a grin.

Written for boys who like to eat other people's sorrows, or not eat at all, and for girls who love them regardless.

Content warning: This book contains themes of mental illness, eating disorders, sexual assault, self harm and suicide. Reader discretion is advised.
