Kyra Johnson's Reviews > How It Works Out

This surreal novel follows a queer couple, Myriam and Allison, through different alternate universes. Each chapter reads like an interconnected short story in which Myriam and Allison wear many hats—baby thieves, cannibals, animals, celebrities, clones, and so on. Lacroix brilliantly uses speculative scenarios as a lens to explore self-discovery, queer love, and all of the complicated stages a relationship goes through. Lacroix’s writing is sharp, funny, and tender and will equally disturb and comfort you. This is a mind-blowing debut that will resonate with many readers and I loved every minute.
