Bitches With Books - ‘How It Works Out' by Myriam Lacroix

Bitches With Books - an Edinburgh book club for anyone who identifies as an LGBTQ+ woman.

In September we will be discussing 'How It Works Out' by Myriam Lacroix:

' What if you could rewrite your relationship, again and again, until it works out?

When Myriam and Allison fall in love at a show in a run-down punk house, their relationship begins to unfold through a series of hypotheticals: What if they became mothers by finding a baby in an alley? What if the only cure for Myriam’s depression was Allison’s flesh? What if they were B-list celebrities, famous for writing a book about building healthy lesbian relationships? How much darker—or sexier—would their dynamic be if one were a power-hungry CEO, and the other her lowly employee?
From the fantasies of early romance to the slow encroaching of violence that unravels the fantasy, each reality builds to complete a brilliant, painfully funny portrait of love’s many promises and perils.

Equal parts sexy and profane, unsentimental, and gut-wrenching, How It Works Out is a genre-bending, arresting, uncanny exploration of queerness, love, and our drive for connection, in any and all possible worlds.'

We have a table booked from 6.30pm at Steel Coulson Southside - book chat starts at 7pm. Please only sign up if you can make the date. Hope to see you then!
