About this item
A wry and bold debut novel, which is at once an irresistible catastrophe waiting to happen and an unflinching exploration of how we narrate the stories of our lives, as an aspiring novelist finds herself stalking - and writing about - her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend.Twenty-four-year-old New York bookseller Naomi Ackerman is desperate to write a novel, but struggles to find a story to tell.
About the Author
I primarily read literary fiction (with the occasional thriller or romance!) and short story collections. Formerly: bookseller. Currently: creative writing instructor for adults & teens. I enjoy traveling, bouldering, horseback riding, eating, wandering NYC, hiking, doting on my orange tabby cat. .. the list goes on. As a reader and as a writer, I'm bored of the "likable" vs "unlikeable" binary re: female characters. I'm drawn to complicated, flawed, unhinged characters (aka human beings. ..) who make mistakes. And I'm always open to book recs along these lines!
