In the tradition of Jennifer Closeโs Girls in White Dresses comes a โa pin-sharp, utterly addictive debutโ (Vogue U.K.) told in vignettes that speak to a new generation not trying to have it all but hoping to make sense of it all.
โEveryoneโs been talking about this book. . . . Charming and funny, this read is simply delightful.โโBustle
โA deadpan comic debut for the procrastination generation.โโThe Guardian
Claire Flannery has just quit her office job, hoping to take some time to discover her real passion. The problem is, sheโs not exactly sure how to go about finding it. Without the distractions of a regular routine, Claire confronts the best and worst parts of herself: the generous, attentive part that visits her grandmother for tea and cooks special meals for her boyfriend, Luke, and the part that she feels will never measure up and makes regrettable comments after too many glasses of wine. What emerges is a candid, moving portrait of a clear-eyed heroine trying to forge her own way, a wholly relatable character whose imperfections and uncanny observations highlight what makes us all different and yet inescapably linked.
Praise for Not Working
โRuefully funny . . . features a kind of millennial Bridget Jones whose red wineโandโTED Talkโfueled pursuit of a higher purpose in life leads to hard truths and hangovers.โโVogue
โIn this laugh-out-loud debut, Claire Flannery is a lost soul who quits her day job to discover her true passion. In taking a hard look at her own character, Claire finds that her loveable qualities are sometimes squashed by mistakes, like the evenings she blurts inappropriate remarks after too many glasses of wine. [Lisa] Owensโs story is a smart, relatable and delicious debut.โโHarperโs Bazaar
ย
โItโs no mean feat to fashion a novel out of the stuff of everyday life. . . . Fortunately, Owens is quite a writer. . . . Not Working works because there is lots going on beneath its placid, ordinary surface. . . . With this funny, serious debut, Lisa Owens has proved that sheโs one to watch.โโThe New Statesman
โThere are sharp observations about generational change, particularly on the topic of work. . . . The novel is a light read but it raises some timely issues. . . . A secure job with a future is not that easy to find, as Claireโs comic and compelling tale serves to show. This book offers a form of catharsis for anyone who has felt that they are not quite doing their job right. . . . It is soothing to find you are not the only one noodling along in your career.โโFinancial Times
โStellar . . . [Owens has an] ability to take the potentially trite problem-of-the-privileged trope and deftly craft it into readable fun.โโPublishers Weekly
โOwens offers a millennial take on the traditional British chick-lit heroine. . . . Claire is a realistically awkward character who will appeal to readers looking for a less-angsty take on the new adult trend.โโBooklist
โA novel as insightful about the contemporary dilemmas facing young professionals as it is sharp, incisive and laugh-out-loud funny.โโThe Observer
โLots of people say they laugh out loud when they read a book they love. But in the case of Not Working, I really did laugh out loud, often and raucously.โโElisabeth Egan, author of A Window Opens
