'I want to, like, I don't know how else to say it but, I want to unknow you.'

A moment of silence. Then Margot started laughing. Tania and Margot, best friends for over twenty years, are preparing to host their monthly dinner party when Tania tells Margot this isn't working for her anymore.

But how do you extricate yourself from someone whose family owns your apartment, who has taken you in as their own, even claims you as their 'person'? In the midst of a tense will-they-won't-they break-up, Tania and Margot are forced to reckon with where it all went wrong . . . or whether they were simply wrong for each other to begin with. A taut, piercing exploration of girlhood and identity, and the ways in which world-defining friendships can be both beautiful and excruciating, My Person is an addictive, astutely observed novel from a major new talent.
