"Really Good, Actually" by Monica Heisey follows a young woman trying to keep up appearances as she tackles dating and sex as a recent divorceè. 29-year-old Maggie never expected to be divorced at such a young age, but her husband, Jon, took his things and hasn't been in contact with her since he left. Struggling with the sudden heartbreak, Maggie attempts to find herself by taking on a plethora of hobbies, scrolling dating apps, going out with whomever she wants, and staying up until the wee hours of the night eating her favourite foods. But no matter where Maggie goes, the ache of loneliness is there to find her. With the help of her friends, Maggie will navigate the first year after her divorce with humour and tenderness. Heisey's comedic and sage depiction of life and love's unexpected pitfalls is heartwarming.
