Sinopsis
From "the reliably hilarious" (Entertainment Weekly) author of Love, Nina: a brilliantly funny and heartbreaking story of growing up and finding the independence you might not actually want . . .
Teenager Lizzie Vogel has a new job as a dental assistant. This is not as glamorous as it sounds. At least it means mostly getting away from her alcoholic, nymphomaniacal, novel-writing mother. But, if Lizzie thinks being independent means sex with her boyfriend (he prefers bird-watching), strict boundaries (her boss keeps using her loo) or self-respect (surely only actual athletes get fungal foot infections?) she's still got a lot more growing up to do.
The winner of the 2019 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction, Reasons to Be Cheerful is a novel that lives up to its title, confirming Nina Stibbe's status as one of the most original and delightful writers at work today.

Review
PRAISE FOR REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL
Winner of the 2019 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction
"The reliably hilarious Stibbe may have outdone herself with this witty, '80s-England-set exploration of one woman's struggles in early adulthood."―David Canfield, Entertainment Weekly
"A quirky, charming novel about an uncertain young dental assistant's coming of age."―People Magazine
"So dense with amusing detail that I thought about holding the book upside down to see if any extra funny bits might spill from the creases between the page."―Susan Coll, The New York Times
"I read all of Reasons To Be Cheerful in one GLORIOUS gulp and it's SUCH a joy - Nina Stibbe turns out more perfect, sharp, unique sentences than anyone else in the game. It just CARTWHEELS."―Caitlin Moran, bestselling author of HOW TO BE A WOMAN
"Stibbe proves she can channel the mind of a young woman and takes the reader on a coming-of-age journey that plucks at the heartstrings of every emotion."―Associated Press
"Heart-skippingly funny, but also psychologically incisive, socially adept, and disarmingly poignant."―Booklist, starred review
"Stibbe, a master of low-key observation and throwaway punchlines, captures Lizzie's romantic uncertainty and open, sometimes-wounded heart while also pointing up the intermittent absurdity and restrictions of life for women in provincial England in the early 1980s.An idiosyncratic, bittersweet coming-of-age tale that certainly justifies its title."―Kirkus
"Nina Stibbe is funny and lovely."―BookRiot
"To read a Nina Stibbe novel is to experience joy. REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL is the story of one young dental assistant's journey into adulthood. It's endearing, delightful, and funny in the smartest way. This novel shines from within."―Elin Hilderbrand, bestselling author of THE PERFECT COUPLE
