A young woman reckons with a romantic obsession in this anti-Bildungsroman which confronts thorny gender relations, consent and unravelling mental health within Gen Z. In her final year of a degree in psychology, the anonymous narrator is struggling to relate to the world around her and find her place within it. Will a new relationship with Luke bring the understanding she is yearning for, or will he turn out to be just as incomprehensible as everything else? To Rest Our Minds and Bodies queries the nature of experience, mapping the disintegration of a young woman's sense of self, in prose that is keenly observant, delightfully wry, and utterly despairing.
