Disappoint Me: From the author of BELLIES cover image

Disappoint Me

New from the author of Bellies; a voice-driven, funny and poignant exploration of millennial angst, race, trans panic, and the allure of bougie domesticity, Disappoint Me will delight and provoke readers in equal measure.

'Nicola Dinan's second book confirms to me that she is one of our most exciting writers . . . Disappoint Me is an addictive read, that I really did not want to end' Travis Alabanza, author of None of the Above

Max is thirty, a published poet and grossly overpaid legal counsel for a tech company. She's living her best life! Or is she? The debris of years of dysphoria and failed relationships rattle around in her head. When she tumbles down the stairs at a New Year's Eve party and wakes up in hospital alone, she decides to make some changes. First things first- a stab at good old-fashioned heteronormativity.

Enter Vincent, corporate lawyer and hobby baker. His trad friendship group may as well speak a different language to Max, and his Chinese parents never pictured their son dating a trans woman. It's uncertain terrain, but Vincent cares for Max in a way she'd long given up on as a foolish fantasy.

Yet Vincent is carrying his own baggage. On his gap year in Thailand a decade prior, he vies for the attention of a gorgeous traveller, Alex, with secrets of her own. Is Vincent really the new face of the Enlightened Man, or will the ghosts of his past sabotage his and Max's happiness?
