About this listen

"Prepare to gasp out loud, cringe, cackle, and cry... Hilarious hijinks aside, at its heart, this is a book that isn't afraid to dive deep into heart wrenching isolation and the anxiety that comes with trying to figure out how to get your shit together." Jesse Sutanto

David's writing career? Dying. And his hot new date? Dead in his bed.
A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a six-figure book deal, a loving boyfriend, and an exciting writing career. His debut novel was a resounding success, which made the publication of his second book-a total flop-all the more devastating. Now, David is single, lonely, and desperately trying to come up with the next great idea for his third manuscript, which will hopefully be the one to save him from ruin.

In an attempt to find inspiration, David hits the dating apps. And his luck seems to have turned when he meets a devastatingly handsome, confident, and wealthy man who takes him out on the town for the best night of his life. There's only one problem. The morning after a phenomenal date, David wakes to find his prince charming dead in his bed.

Terrified and confused, David calls the only person he can trust in a moment of crisis: his literary agent, Stacey. What ensues is a madcap adventure through the city with his dead date as David and Stacey try to find what secrets prince charming has been hiding, and just how much hot water David is in. One silver lining? His next book idea seems pretty set...

See what everyone has been saying about I Might Be in Trouble:
"Funny, relatable, and utterly bonkers, I Might Be in Trouble is an anxiety-ridden thrill ride that I couldn't put down. David Alvarez is one of those heartbreakingly vulnerable characters that you want to shake one moment, and wrap in a blanket to keep safe from harm the next. Come for the deadly hijinks, stay for the 'if I don't laugh, I'll cry' look at what it's like to work in publishing." Mia P. Manansala

"A genre-busting rollercoaster ride. . . Darkly comic and painfully relatable, the novel also offers thoughtful reflections on the emotional cost of sudden success, and the anxiety of losing sight of who you once were outside of your accomplishments." Caitlin Barasch

"I Might Be Trouble is as much a page-turning thriller as it is a comedic, big-hearted exploration of love, loneliness, and the way writing can save us. Daniel Aleman's meta winks at gay life in New York City are fresh and poignant, but the novel's outlandishly delicious plot kept me pinned to every page. I could not put this book down." John Glynn

Critic reviews

'I gulped this book down in a single sitting. I Might Be In Trouble has everything I'm looking for in fiction: crackling dialogue, hilarious antics, and dead bodies at the Plaza. In the midst of it all, Daniel Aleman weaves together a compelling and wise story about what happens when our dreams elude us, and the power of art to help us find ourselves again.' (Grant Ginder)

Amazing, yet unusual thriller

I really enjoyed this book and the performance from Vikas Adam. This story was weirdly and cleverly meta, while feeling original and fresh.
