Every sentence of Monica Heisey's writing is a treat. No one makes me laugh like she does. --Dolly Alderton, New York Times bestselling author of Everything I Know About Love

A hilarious and painfully relatable debut women's fiction novel about one woman's messy search for joy and meaning in the wake of an unexpected breakup, from comedian, essayist, and award-winning screenwriter Monica Heisey.
Maggie is fine. She's doing really good, actually. Sure, she's broke, her graduate thesis on something obscure is going nowhere, and her marriage only lasted 608 days, but at the ripe old age of twenty-nine, Maggie is determined to embrace her new life as a Surprisingly Young Divorcée(TM).
Now she has time to take up nine hobbies, eat hamburgers at 4 am, and get back out there sex-wise. With the support of her tough-loving academic advisor, Merris; her newly divorced friend, Amy; and her group chat (naturally), Maggie barrels through her first year of single life, intermittently dating, occasionally waking up on the floor and asking herself tough questions along the way.
Laugh-out-loud funny and filled with sharp observations, Really Good, Actually is a tender and bittersweet divorce novel that lays bare the uncertainties of modern love, friendship, and our search for that thing we like to call happiness. This remarkable debut, perfect for book clubs, is from an unforgettable new voice in fiction.
A prime example of how a storyteller's voice can pull you right in and keep you clinging to every sentence. . . . This is a book I will give to my closest girlfriends and say, 'You have to read this.' -- Zibby Owens, GoodMorningAmerica.com
