Sad Janet

Lucie Britsch's writing has appeared in Catapult Story, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Split Lip Magazine, and The Sun magazine, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Sad Janet is her first novel.

Told in Janet's distinctive voice, I found this engaging satirical novel very funny
Surprising and irreverent...Be prepared for edginess, dark humor and profanity
BRILLIANT. Janet is my soulmate. If ever there was a year you needed a brutally hilarious story abt the need for dedicated anti-depressants to deal with an oncoming Christmas THIS IS IT. I loved it deeply
Britsch's tart debut is a wicked satire of our obsession with happiness
As I was reading this, my partner kept asking why I was laughing. This book is dark and hilarious and will speak to everyone who's ever wondered why they spend time with humans and not just dogs
Sharp, sad, hilarious
A strangely exuberant meditation on sadness
Sharply observed, dark and full of wit
A whipsmart, biting piece of tragicomedy which manages to inspire real laughter while celebrating sadness. Hilarious, profound and deeply refreshing
I am LOVING this book! Sentence after sentence of funny lil gems
A narrator like a grown up Daria, still trying to live authentically while wracked with depression. Funny and sharp as hell.
