A hilarious, romantic, messy, neurodivergent story of burnout for readers of Bonnie Garmus, Gabrielle Zevin and Meg Mason, by autistic author Kay Kerr.
Meet Nora Byrne. Over-thinker, under-achiever, champion vibes-killer.
After spectacularly blowing up her life, twenty-one-year-old Nora Byrne retreats to the family home with little to show for herself but a shiny new autism diagnosis. But it's hard to process this news under the critical eye of her mother, who already treats her like the black sheep, and the rest of her less-than-understanding family.
Worst of all, it's the week before Christmas, which means mandatory socialising with the neighbours - including Fran, her childhood best friend, last seen when she broke his heart (again).
Nora's only goal is to get through the interminable family dinners, awkward Fran encounters and excessive holiday festivities without crying, throwing up, or finding new ways to humiliate herself. But with her track record, it's not going to be easy ...
A heartfelt, hilarious and romantic story about burning out, coming home and finding yourself, no matter how messy and imperfect the process.
