Really Good, Actually

Monica Heisey

Kayleigh's Thoughts

Equal parts messy and meaningful, Really Good, Actually captures the chaotic aftermath of divorce with biting humor and poignant truth. The female main character is undeniably a train wreck, but her spiraling decisions, dry wit, and existential unraveling make for a compelling read that mirrors the very real emotional whiplash of grief, identity loss, and reluctant independence.

A hilariously honest look at falling apart, figuring it out, and pretending you’re “really good, actually.”
