A year after her mum's death, twenty-something trans woman Natalie Dawson is on a downward spiral, self-medicating with alcohol and binge-watching Buffy. She's let her veganism lapse, abandoned her culinary dreams, and checked out of every connection she's ever made. The present's bleak, the future bleaker. Until she falls in love with Veronica, a woman twice her age who likes nothing more than to play games that would put Steven Shainberg's Secretary to shame. After discovering a box of old mix tapes, Natalie's convinced she's found signs her late mum saw her as a daughter after all. A trail of pop songs and power ballads provide a lifeline, one that'll see her exhume the role she played in her mum's death, and bring Veronica's own secrets to the surface. Splicing the complex romance of The Phantom Thread with the metaphorical ghosts of Six Feet Under, the novel is perfect for readers of Torrey Peters and Caroline O'Donoghue, and fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and My Year of Rest and Relaxation.
