´This lovely, quirky novel will appeal to fans of Miranda July and Sheila Heti´ Red

Ottila McGregor is thirty years old and has decided it´s time to sort her life out. She´s going to quit drinking, stop cheating and finally find true happiness. Easy, right?

Getting in the way of this plan are:
1. Grace, her best friend, who believes self-improvement is for people in their forties.
2. Mina, her sister, who is mentally ill, and it might be Ottila´s fault.
3. Thales, the Greek guy who works in the hospital cafeteria - probably the best, most dangerous person Ottila´s ever met.

Told through a scrapbook of emails, receipts, therapy transcripts and other ephemera, this is an infectious one-off of a novel that makes you wince and laugh in equal measure.

"[A] raw, funny and untidily generous novel... Ottila belongs to the great sisterhood of the Female Fuck-Up. Not the eroticised trainwrecks male writers love to invent, but the real-deal ones like Phoebe Waller-Bridge´s Fleabag... As much as you´re rooting for Ottila to get her man, that´s not the point; the point is whether she can gain the moral wisdom to live a better kind of life. She´s an Emma steeped in ethanol."
