Publisher Description

"Beautiful." —Sarah Jessica Parker

"The best thing you'll read this year." —Kiley Reid, author of Such a Fun Age

A raw, tenderly comic, and perfectly off-kilter novel about a woman who occasionally finds herself in "The Pit”—a delirious state of semiconsciousness—and the improbable, sometimes imagined people who meet her there.


Vita Woods is on the brink. She produces a popular podcast and lives with her successful doctor boyfriend, Max, with whom the sex is great and the future promising. Her brilliant if unreliable sister, Gracie, is her best friend and sparring partner. And her steadfast goldfish, Whitney Houston, brightens even her dimmest days. But as much as things are going right, the days are dark. Vita is not leaving the house. In fact, she can barely make it out of bed.

Instead, she spends long, blurred hours falling in and out of The Pit, dead to the world and to herself. For months, Vita has been sick with an illness that no doctor, not even Max, can diagnose. And recently, Luigi, a Renaissance poet nursing a 500-year-old heartbreak, has started showing up at her bedside, bringing snacks and unsolicited romantic advice. He says he’s come to release her. The issue is: he may be a ghost, an apparition of her sickly mind.

Then, when an unexpected mix-up pushes her into the path of her upstairs neighbors, Vita finds friendship—and perhaps more—in the apartment above. But something about her "condition" keeps nagging at her. What if the problem is Vita herself? Because as far as anyone can prove . . . there’s nothing wrong with her.

"Weinberg [packs] a lot into this slender novel. There’s rage at a medi­cal establishment that won’t take women’s pain seriously, and a cargo ship’s tonnage of famil­ial trauma. But there’s also the life-enhancing, life-saving power of love and friendship, and the strength of Vita’s unquenchable need to be healthy in body and mind. Maybe her name isn’t so ironic after all."

Quotes

  • Kate Weinberg writes with prose so exquisite that I kept copying bits to show people. There's Nothing Wrong With Her is so beautifully perceptive and forensically observed; she writes about the complexities of human relationships in a way that stops me in my tracks. One of those books I will read again and again.

    — Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You
  • A really wonderful piece of work: so fresh . . . So excellently written . . . I love the way it encompasses SO many things: a whole life—sorrows, damage, hopes—but then has them interacting so interestingly with the present, like two thick paint colors slowly mixing in front of your eyes.

    — Richard Curtis
  • It’s moving, absorbing, evocative—such a thoughtful exploration of the traps of grief and chronic illness. Beautifully conjured. Shades, I felt, of The Yellow Wallpaper, but brilliantly modernised.

  • Weinberg takes a stylistic turn in this short, sharp read about friendship and recovery, inspired by her experience with long COVID.

    — Sarah Jessica Parker
