How It Works Out by Myriam Lacroix

What if you could rewrite your relationship, again and again, until it works out?

‘A stunner of a debut’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH ‘A cause for celebration’ GEORGE SAUNDERS ‘Exhilaratingly good’ KELLY LINK

When Myriam and Allison fall in love at a show in a run-down punk house, their relationship begins to unfold through a series of hypotheticals: What if they became mothers by finding a baby in an alley? What if the only cure for Myriam’s depression was Allison’s flesh? How much darker - or sexier - would their dynamic be if one were a power-hungry CEO, and the other her lowly employee? From the fantasies of early romance to the slow encroaching of heartbreak, each reality builds to complete a brilliant and painfully funny portrait of love’s many promises and perils.
