The boxes aren’t ticked and she feels adrift in a way she thought she would have beaten by now. She wants to be a writer but can’t finish a first draft; she romanticizes her childhood but won’t speak to her mother; she has never been in a serious relationship but yearns to be one half of a couple that DIYs together on weekends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnter: enigmatic writer. Enola falls in love and starts to dream about their perfect future: the wedding, the book deals, the house in Stoke Newington. But the reality is far from perfect. He’s distant. But she’s a Cool Girl, she doesn’t need to hear from him every day. He hangs out with his ex. But she’s a Cool Girl, she’s not insecure. Is she? He has dark moods. But he’s a creative, that’s part of his “process.” Her best friend begs her to end it, but Enola can’t. She’s a Cool Girl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe might feel like she’s going crazy at times, but she wants him. She needs him. She would die without him . . . That’s what love is, isn’t it? Over the next twenty-four hours (and two years), everything that Enola thinks she knows is about to unravel, and she has to think again about how she sees love, family, friendship, and—most importantly—herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith notes of \u003ci\u003eFleabag\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eI May Destroy You \u003c\/i\u003ebut with the sparseness and emotional accuracy of writers like Lily King,\u003ci\u003e What It’s Like in Words\u003c\/i\u003e is a close examination of what it means to experience the intense emotional uncertainty of first love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holt, Henry \u0026 Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42742599254077,"sku":"9781250355072","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781250355072_p0.jpg?v=1771591497","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781250355072","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
