Stop Me If You've Heard This One by Kristen Arnett
Shortlisted for the Comedy Women in Print Prize 2025 'This novel is sweet, sexy, sad, articulate, and funny' Vogue Cherry Hendricks might be down on her luck, but she can write the book on what makes something funny: she's a professional clown who creates raucous, zany fun at gigs all over Orlando. Her life is a mess, but she's always hustling. Cherry's luck changes when she meets Margot the Magnificent - the most successful entertainer on the circuit. By pursuing Margot's mentorship and connections, Cherry is certain she can take her act to the next level. Plus, Margot is sexy as hell. But it's not long before Cherry must decide how much she's willing to risk for Margot, and for her own explosive new act. What kind of clown does she want to be under her costume? 'Unique, weird as anything, but it's also so much deeper . . . While this book will make you laugh, the story is guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings too' Daily Express 'As much heart, humour, and gritty realness as can fit between two covers' People 'A funny and heartfelt tale of one woman grappling with grief, love and how to move forward' New York Times
