The hottest debut novel of 2023 from Schittโs Creek and Smothered screenwriter and an Observer debut author of the year, Monica Heisey.
Maggieโs marriage has ended just 608 days after it started, but sheโs fine โ sheโs doing really good, actually. Sure, sheโs alone for the first time and canโt afford her rent and her obscure PhD is going nowhere... but at the age of twenty-nine, Maggie is determined to embrace her new status as a Surprisingly Young DivorcรฉeTM.
As Maggie throws herself headlong into the chaos of her first year of divorce, she soon finds herself questioning everything, including: Why do we still get married? Did I fail before I even got started? And how many 4am delivery burgers do I need to eat until I am happy?
Really Good, Actually is an irresistible debut novel about the uncertainties of modern love, friendship and happiness.
