Description
Amy Hanley has a job as a maid of the summer, but on August 25, she will take the exam to become an EMT (third time's the charm!) and finally move on with her life. In the meantime, she doesn't mind scrubbing toilets or tucking the sheet corners just so. But as the date for the EMT exam draws closer, Amy's anxiety ratchets up in a way that is both familiar and troubling.
In desperation, she concocts a "placebo" program—a self-prescribed regimen for her confidence, devised to trick herself into succeeding. And when an opportunity for an unexpected friendship emerges, it brings a surge of hopeful obsession that Amy must reckon with before the summer's end.
Tender and heartbreakingly funny, Nobody, Somebody, Anybody explores the shadowy corners of a young woman's inner world of grief, delusion, and self-loathing, revealing the creeping loneliness of modern life and out endless search for connection.
