No one understands the misery and hilarity of being alive better than Lucie Britsch ... Writing like this takes talent and the most tender of hearts.
Jean Kyoung Frazier, author of Pizza Girl
Synopsis
All her life, Susan's loved ones have been hiding a terrible secret from her: If she thinks too hard, her head will explode.
Luckily, her devoted boyfriend, anxious parents and fierce best friend are prepared to do whatever it takes to keep Susan safe in ignorant, thoughtless bliss. And until now, Susan has lived happily in a bubble of TV and takeaways, social media and small talk; anything to distract her from the spiralling thoughts that so often haunt the rest of us - thoughts that would be deadly for her.
But what happens when reality creeps in and Susan's perfectly curated world starts to crumble? Can we distract ourselves from the real world forever... and should we?

A whip-smart, biting piece of tragicomedy... Hilarious, profound.

Lucy says: (from luciebritsch.com)
I write weird, funny, dark things no one asked for.
My writing career peaked as a kid when I won a contest to write a slogan to get people to pick up their dog's shit.
My writing has appeared in places like Catapult Story, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Split Lip Magazine, and The Sun, and I’ve been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
I live in England on an imaginary farm with my imaginary animals who may also be a Metallica tribute band.
I am available to hire if sighing loudly is something you look for in a writer.
