Imagine being lulled to sleep not with soothing tales of soft bunnies or breathing exercises or visions of rolling tides and peaceful cloud cover, but with sardonic, monotonous stories designed to bore you into blissful slumber. In 'Goodnight, Grown-up' Soloway-Aizley's dry wit turns the banal into a sleep-inducing art form, offering readers a wry smile before their eyelids grow heavy. Perfect for those nights when your mind won't stop racing, this book promises to be the antidote to insomnia, turning the utterly tedious into the ultimate sleep aid. Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Beatrix Potter. Literary ASMR.
16-year-old Willow Callum is one panic attack away from heading into a residential treatment center for her OCD. Her flashbacks starting in pre-kindergarten unveil why five and red are unlucky and why everyone around her will die alone if she doesn't wash her hands twice. As humorous as it is dark, Opposite Action shows the importance of finding identity beyond mental illness.
