Deep in Essex and her own thoughts, Sophie had a feeling something was going to happen and then it did. Chris has entered the pub and re-entered her life after Sophie had finally stopped thinking about him and regretting what she'd done.
Sophie has a chance at creating a new ending and paying off her emotional debts (if not her financial ones). All she has to do is act exactly like a normal, well-adjusted person and not say any of her inner monologue out loud. If she can suppress her light paranoia, pornographic visualisations and pathological lying maybe she'll even end up getting the guy she wants? Then she could dump her boyfriend Ian and try to enjoy Christmas.
REVIEWS
"Part of the joy of Weirdo is not knowing what to expect, or rather in having your expectations subverted by Sophie's smoothie-maker of a mind...This off-kilter perceptiveness manifests as the kind of precise observations you might expect from stand-up Pascoe: the crowdfunding hell of modern weddings, the bitter rivalry of unlikely sisters, the kinds of shit jobs people have when they move to London without a plan...Very funny. Pascoe is equally good, though, on the unfunny bits... this [debut novel] will stick with you for a long time."― Guardian
"A tremendously exciting voice. Pascoe has something to say and a thoroughly engaging way of saying it." ― The Times
