What if they became mothers by finding a baby in an alley? What if the only cure for Myriam's depression was Allison's flesh? What if they were B-list celebrities, famous for writing a book about building healthy lesbian relationships? How much darker--or sexier--would their dynamic be if one were a power-hungry CEO, and the other her lowly employee? From the fantasies of early romance to the slow encroaching of violence that unravels the fantasy, each reality builds to complete a brilliant, painfully funny portrait of love's many promises and perils. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Equal parts sexy and profane, unsentimental, and gut-wrenching, \u003ci\u003eHow It Works Out\u003c\/i\u003e is a genre-bending, arresting, uncanny exploration of queerness, love, and our drive for connection, in any and all possible worlds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Overlook Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419773518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Myriam LaCroix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43733094334645,"sku":"9781419773518","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_926122e7-ce46-46f1-b3c7-9731ab3aeaaf.jpg?v=1710258479","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/how-it-works-out-9781419773518","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
