How It Works Out

What if you had the chance to rewrite the course of your relationship, again and again, in the hopes that it would work out? `A cause for celebration` GEORGE SAUNDERS `Delightfully bizarre... We loved it` TEGAN AND SARA `Utterly brilliant` DAISY JOHNSON `Madcap, delirious, 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? What if they were B-list celebrities, famous for writing a book about building healthy lesbian relationships? 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 violence that unravels the fantasy, each reality builds to complete a brilliant, painfully funny portrait of love’s many promises and perils. Equal parts sexy and profane, unsentimental and gut-wrenching, How It Works Out is a genre-bending, arresting, uncanny exploration of queerness, love, and our drive for connection, in any and all possible worlds.
