A fresh, laugh-out-loud take on 21st Century high-functioning anxiety, Morris’s honest and easy-to-read debut is a joy from the first page to the last. A zeitgeist novel for our times, exposing just how normal it is to feel abnormal. Told through a series of hilarious personal anecdotes, Hayley both normalises and offers guidance on how to manage anxiety and overthinking in all of life’s situations. From puberty and first dates, to break-ups, bad sex and grief. Hayley’s insightful narrative to modern life feels like confessing to a best friend.

For lovers of Dolly Alderton’s Everything I Know About Love, Hayley Morris is most definitely an author to watch.
