*THE MOST RELATABLE NOVEL SAD GIRLS WILL READ ALL YEAR* A laugh-out-loud-funny addictive book
book about growing up finding your purpose and whether everyone really does have a novel
within them for fans of MONICA HEISEY OTTESSA MOSHFEGH and COCO MELLORS. 'Pip Finkemeyer has
drawn such a unique funny and painfully astute character in Kim. I could keep reading her
inner monologue forever.' Laura Kay author of The Split 'Unique and smart with wry humour that
will make you laugh out loud. I enjoyed following (and re-living) the trials and tribulations
of being a 20-something writer desperate to prove herself to the world.' Emma Gannon author of
Olive 'What a voice - weird witty wonderfully unique. SAD GIRL NOVEL will make you laugh and
move you too.' Chloë Ashby author of Wet Paint Maybe my main character will slowly lose their
mind too. Novels usually need an abandoned woman going crazy in them. It's gonna be like a
sad girl novel. An Australian expat in Berlin Kim is jobless rootless and - as she's slowly
discovering - somewhat useless. That is until a chance encounter with Matthew a hotshot New
York literary agent gives Kim the direction she's been craving. This year she will: * Finally
write her novel * Decide what said novel is actually about * Romantically pin down the
increasingly flighty Matthew * Be less jealous of best friend Bel's baby * Convince her
therapist that the amount of artichokes she eats doesn't classify as an eating disorder * Stay
sane in the process of achieving the above Because Kim's story will not become a sad girl
novel. Definitely not. 'Brimful of humorous one-liners and subverted meme references' ArtHub
'Stays one step ahead of the reader by critiquing the genre's tropes and trademarks along the
way' Guardian 'A book about finding yourself losing yourself and everything in between . . .
Will have you laughing crying and wanting more' The Urban 'An irreverent voice that will have
you reaching for a pen to underline every second sentence' Books + Publishing 'While Kimberley
Mueller spends a lot of time wondering whether she's talented Finkemeyer need have no such
doubts. Finkemeyer's narrator . . . is a stroke of genius.' Diana Reid author of Love & Virtue
