What an audacious, breathtaking and inspiring debut. The power of this formally innovative and deeply funny book is that everything exists to serve the compassionate heart at its core. Myriam Lacroix's work is a cause for celebration -- George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo Hilarious, heart-rending, grotesque, delightful, utterly brilliant -- Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under How It Works Out is madcap, delirious, exhilaratingly good -- Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love I loved this book. It’s like nothing else I’ve read. Every single page kept me guessing – it's rare to read something so delightfully strange -- Kirsty Logan, author of Now She is Witch How It Works Out is a delightfully bizarre and unabashedly queer revelation; a truly captivating exploration of love. Myriam Lacroix's kaleidoscopic first novel invites you to embrace the unconventional and revel in the multiverse of 'what-ifs' we only wish we could explore in our own relationships. We loved it -- Tegan and Sara Quin, authors of High School
