How It Works Out - Myriam Lacroix

What if you could rewrite your relationship, again and again, until it worked out?

‘A cause for celebration’ GEORGE SAUNDERS
‘A stunner of a debut’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH
''Hilarious, heart-rending, grotesque, delightful, utterly brilliant'' DAISY JOHNSON
‘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?
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 heartbreak, each reality builds to complete a brilliant and painfully funny portrait of love’s many promises and perils.
