Book synopsis

Girls meets Trainspotting: Problems is a bold and witty book about a part-time heroin user and her increasingly full-time problems.

A Lena Dunham Must-Read for Women (“Unbelievably funny . . . a brilliant novel”)

Girls meets Trainspotting: Problems is a bold and witty book about a part-time heroin user and her increasingly full-time problems.

Dark, raw, and very funny, Problems introduces us to Maya, a young woman with a smart mouth, time to kill, and a heroin hobby that isn’t much fun anymore. Maya’s been able to get by in New York on her wits and a dead-end bookstore job for years, but when her husband leaves her and her favorite professor ends their affair, her barely-calibrated life descends into chaos, and she has to make some choices.

Maya’s struggle to be alone, to be a woman, and to be thoughtful and imperfect and alive in a world that doesn’t really care what happens to her is rendered with dead-eyed clarity and unnerving charm. This book takes every tired trope about addiction and recovery, “likeable” characters, and redemption narratives, and blows them to pieces.
