The Clumsy Life of Janet Wackson: A memoir of courage, growth and other things that happened to other people (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798186659198)

Janet Wackson is not the problem.

At least that's what Janet believes.

Her husband leaves.

Her friends agree with her.

The universe sends signs.

The Flying Monkeys confirm her suspicions.

The Complaint Department remains fully operational.

And somewhere between a burlesque class, an English course she isn't qualified to teach, a spiritual awakening that goes alarmingly off course, and an increasingly complicated filing system dedicated to everybody else's faults, Janet sets out to prove that her life would be perfect if only other people behaved properly.

There is just one problem.

The evidence keeps pointing in an inconvenient direction.

The Clumsy Life of Janet Wackson is a darkly funny satirical novel about blame, self-deception, reinvention, wine, social media, spiritual gurus, flying monkeys, emergency glow-ups, and the extraordinary lengths we go to avoid meeting ourselves.

Part comedy.

Part tragedy.

Part hall of mirrors.

Janet Wackson has an explanation for everything.

Unfortunately, none of them are correct.

A hilarious and surprisingly poignant novel for readers who enjoyed the wit of Bridget Jones's Diary, the observational humour of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, and the absurdity of modern self-help culture.

For anyone who has ever said:

"The problem can't possibly be me."

And then spent the next three years gathering evidence.
