Big Swiss
by Jen Beagin
Buy on AmazonRecommended by
"A hilarious, dark and quirky coming-of-middle-age story starring Greta, a 45-year-old aspiring writer drifting in upstate New York. She transcribes sex therapy sessions for the local amateur therapist – and starts a life-changing affair with one of his clients, a woman she calls “Big Swiss.” Jen Beagin’s third novel is strictly fiction, though it borrows details from her life. It started a bidding war in Hollywood before it was even released, and an HBO series starring Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) is in the works."

"Jen Beagin's "Big Swiss" (other reactions as well, let's get real, it does it all!)."
