Synopsis
NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 BY PEOPLE, VOGUE, THE WASHINGTON POST, THE MILLIONS, AND NBC TODAYFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Mostly Dead Things, a sparkling and funny new novel of entertainment, ambition, art, and love."Sweet, sexy, sad, articulate, and funny." - Vogue"As much heart, humor, and gritty realness as can fit between two covers." - People"A funny and heartfelt tale of one woman grappling with grief, love and how to move forward.&” - New York TimesCherry Hendricks might be down on her luck, but she can write the book on what makes something funny: she&’s a professional clown who creates raucous, zany fun at gigs all over Orlando. Between her clowning and her shifts at an aquarium store for extra cash, she&’s always hustling. Not to mention balancing her judgmental mother, her messy love life, and her equally messy community of fellow performers.Things start looking up when Cherry meets Margot the Magnificent—a much older lesbian magician—who seems to have worked out the lines between art, business, and life, and has a slick, successful career to prove it. With Margot&’s mentorship and industry connections, Cherry is sure to take her art to the next level. Plus, Margot is sexy as hell. It&’s not long before Cherry must decide how much she&’s willing to risk for Margot and for her own explosive new act—and what kind of clown she wants to be under her suit. Equal parts bravado, tenderness, and humor, and bursting with misfits, magicians, musicians, and mimes, Stop Me If You've Heard This One is a masterpiece of comedic fiction that asks big questions about art and performance, friendship and community, and the importance of timing in jokes and in life.
