What if you had the chance to rewrite the course of your relationship again and again in the
hopes that it would work out? 'A cause for celebration' GEORGE SAUNDERS 'Delightfully
bizarre... We loved it' TEGAN AND SARA 'Utterly brilliant' DAISY JOHNSON 'Madcap delirious
exhilaratingly good' KELLY LINK When Myriam and Allison fall in love at a show in a run-down
punk house their relationship begins to unfold through a series of hypotheticals. What if they
became mothers by finding a baby in an alley? What if the only cure for Myriam's depression was
Allison's flesh? What if they were B-list celebrities famous for writing a book about building
healthy lesbian relationships? How much darker - or sexier - would their dynamic be if one were
a power-hungry CEO and the other her lowly employee? From the fantasies of early romance to
the slow encroaching of violence that unravels the fantasy each reality builds to complete a
brilliant painfully funny portrait of love's many promises and perils. Equal parts sexy and
profane unsentimental and gut-wrenching How It Works Out is a genre-bending arresting
uncanny exploration of queerness love and our drive for connection in any and all possible
worlds.
