Will There Ever Be Another You (Pre-order Sept. 23, 2025)

PRE-ORDER FOR SEPTEMBER 23, 2025

Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood
🌀 A searing, surreal plunge into illness, identity, and the blurred boundaries of reality—from Booker Prize finalist Patricia Lockwood.

From the acclaimed author of No One Is Talking About This comes a mind-bending literary novel that captures the disorienting experience of a woman unraveling during a global pandemic. Will There Ever Be Another You is a darkly funny, hallucinatory descent into the mind of a narrator haunted by grief, confusion, and an unexplainable illness that leaves her fragmented from time, memory, and self.

As she tries to care for her family after an unimaginable loss, she becomes untethered from the world around her—plagued by looping pop lyrics, warping friendships, and a reality that no longer plays by any known rules. Is she falling apart—or being remade?

Profound, feverish, and unflinchingly original, Lockwood’s latest novel explores the fragile border between breakdown and breakthrough, asking what remains when the self dissolves—and what strange, radiant new form might emerge.
