Without doubt, a future classic DAISY BUCHANAN  Funny and charming HOLLY GRAMAZIO  Bryony doesnt actually mind being single. So she doesnt understand why she keeps seeing (ok, sleeping with) Ed, who is perfectly fine, but also only okay. After developing the ick on their fifth date, she resolves to end things – only to receive a call the next day telling her Ed has died.  Worse yet, he seems to have represented her to his family and friends as his great love. Obviously, it would be cruel to correct them. Then shes invited to the funeral. It would be equally rude to refuse . . . right?    Before she knows it, Bryony has been drawn in by the charisma and chaos of Eds eccentric family and tangled in a web of her own lies. Shes been guilted into signing up to his sisters pyramid scheme, shes in far too deep with several of his nearest and dearest – and to make matters worse shes experiencing a lot of physical symptoms that are becoming harder and harder to ignore . . . Probably Nothing is the answer to just how far sheer awkwardness can take someone. Peppered with Lauren Bravos irresistible wit, it explores the relatable modern cults of wellness and people-pleasing, and digs into the eternal dilemma: life is short – so should you settle for perfectly fine?
