THE MOST RELATABLE NOVEL SAD GIRLS WILL READ ALL YEAR
A laugh-out-loud-funny, addictive book book about growing up, finding your purpose and whether everyone really does have a novel within them, for fans of MONICA HEISEY, OTTESSA MOSHFEGH and COCO MELLORS.
'Pip Finkemeyer has drawn such a unique, funny and painfully astute character in Kim. I could keep reading her inner monologue forever.' Laura Kay, author of The Split
' Unique and smart with wry humour that will make you laugh out loud. I enjoyed following (and re-living) the trials and tribulations of being a 20-something writer desperate to prove herself to the world.' Emma Gannon, author of Olive
'What a voice - weird, witty, wonderfully unique. SAD GIRL NOVEL will make you laugh and move you , too.' Chloë Ashby, author of Wet Paint
Maybe my main character will slowly lose their mind too. Novels usually need an abandoned woman going crazy in them. It's gonna be, like, a sad girl novel.***
An Australian expat in Berlin, Kim is jobless, rootless, and - as she's slowly discovering - somewhat useless.
That is until a chance encounter with Matthew, a hotshot New York literary agent, gives Kim the direction she's been craving. This year she will:
Finally write her novel
Decide what said novel is actually about
Romantically pin down the increasingly flighty Matthew
Be less jealous of best friend Bel's baby
Convince her therapist that the amount of artichokes she eats doesn't classify as an eating disorder
Stay sane in the process of achieving the above
Because Kim's story will not become a sad girl novel. Definitelynot.
'Brimful of humorous one-liners and subverted meme references ' ArtHub
' Stays one step ahead of the reader by critiquing the genre's tropes and trademarks along the way 'Guardian
' A book about finding yourself, losing yourself and everything in between . . . Will have you laughing, crying and wanting more'The Urban
'An irreverent voice that will have you reaching for a pen to underline every second sentence'Books + Publishing
' While Kimberley Mueller spends a lot of time wondering whether she's talented , Finkemeyer need have no such doubts. Finkemeyer's narrator . . . is a stroke of genius.' Diana Reid, author of Love & Virtue
