Touch Grass

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Charlie deletes other people's worst moments for a living; ironic, considering she's been trying to forget her own for years.

When her consciousness starts spontaneously ejecting from her body, Charlie becomes the first known case of a bizarre new phenomenon - and the unwilling centre of a global crisis.

And an immortal sheep might be the key to everything.

As disembodiment spreads, corporations celebrate it, governments fear it, and Charlie can't decide whether she's losing herself or finally escaping. But the memories she worked so hard to delete won't stay gone, and the only way to survive a world splitting at the seams may be to reclaim the self she tried to erase.

Wry and inventive, Touch Grass explores identity, consent and the hilariously messy business of being a friend, sister and person - especially when someone keeps editing the footnotes.
