The Vibe

Maggie is 29 and going through a divorce. She insists she's fine — really good, actually. She is not fine. She's crying in grocery stores, stalking her ex online, and making spectacularly bad decisions. The funniest, most painfully relatable novel about falling apart and the slow work of putting yourself back together.
