Big Swiss by Jen Beagin
Greta is miles away, sitting at a desk in her own house, wearing only headphones, fingerless gloves, a kimono, and legwarmers, transcribing this disembodied voice. What Greta doesn't know is that she's about to bump into Big Swiss in the local dog park.
'The voice is sharp, the plot is compelling, the jokes are funny and sometimes startling, as the very best comedy is.. Every page is packed with good jokes, keen observations and idiosyncratically wonderful prose... It made my brain do interesting, uncomfortable things and left me questioning my beliefs about attraction, grief, how recovery works, and a dozen other fundamental things' - Sandra Newman, Guardian
