How It Works Out
Description
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.
