Summary
'Sharp and uncompromising… Everyone I Know is Dying is a book that demands to be read' Joe Gibson, author of Seventeen
'I read every page obsessively… sharp and witty and so delicately crafted' Elvin Mensah, author of Small Joys
***
When she’s having sex with her boss, Iris likes to have the lights on so he can see how much younger she is than his wife. She likes watching her colleagues eat unhealthy lunches at their desk while her stomach aches with emptiness. She likes coasting at work knowing she’s going to land a big promotion anyway.
So why when it arrives does she find herself sprawled on her hallway floor, crying uncontrollably? Why, instead of a sense of triumph, does a crippling depression threaten to overwhelm her? Why does the support and stability of her family and friends feel so suffocating? And why, torn between her flatmate George – good, kind, reliable George – and cold, indifferent Patrick, does she only seem capable of making choices that cause her pain?
A razor-sharp, bleakly funny exploration of mental health crises, the societal pressures on young women, and toxic sexual and romantic relationships from one of the most exciting new literary voices. Perfect for fans of Sorrow and Bliss or Cleopatra and Frankenstein.

Well we got somewhere at the end
This book frustrated me for a very long time. Yes Iris has a mood disorder but I found the constant self destruction of the character infuriating you scream at her to make the right choice but I suppose she had to go on her own journey and come out where she is supposed to be. I did like the conclusion it was perfect.

Brave, compelling and filled with dark humour
Madly brave and written in a style which completely immerses you in the character. Dark and full of funny lines – rarely seen such an unfiltered view of the realities of mental illness which feels extremely needed. Highly recommend for people who want a break from tropes in this genre.
