Thoughtless by Lucie Britsch

Thoughtless by Lucie Britsch

THE DARKLY HILARIOUS AND BRILLIANTLY WISE NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF SAD JANET **** All her life, Susan's loved ones have been hiding a terrible secret from her: If she thinks too hard, her head will explode. Until now, Susan has lived happily in a bubble of TV and takeaways, social media and small talk; anything to distract her from the spiralling thoughts that so often haunt the rest of us - thoughts that would be deadly for her. But when reality creeps in and Susan's perfectly curated world starts to crumble, it begs the question: can we distract ourselves from the real world forever... And should we? **** PRAISE FOR LUCY BRITSCH 'Surprising and irreverent' NEW YORK TIMES 'A strangely exuberant meditation on sadness' REFINERY29 'A whip-smart, biting piece of tragicomedy... Hilarious, profound' HUFFINGTON POST 'A wicked satire of our obsession with happiness' THE i 'A tragicomic riot of a book - charging, foul-mouthed and tender' CLAUDIA DEY 'Like a grown up Daria' HELEN MCCLORY 'If you're a Halle Butler fan or like despair cut with humour, you'll love this' LEIGH STEIN 'Dark and hilarious' ROWAN HISAYO BUCHANAN

No one understands the misery and hilarity of being alive better than Lucie BritschWhat makes THOUGHTLESS so special isn't its zany concept, but how Britsch never fears portraying people in their least flattering light, how despite the heavy themes, there is still so much life and energy. Writing like this takes talent and the most tender of hearts. * JEAN KYOUNG FRAZIER, author of PIZZA GIRL *
