Summary

Music journalist, self-professed creep and former winner of the coveted ‘Fittest Girl in Year 11’ award, Harriet Gibsone lives in fear of her internet searches being leaked.

Harriet spent much of her young life feeding neuroses and insecurities with obsessive internet searching (including compulsive googling of exes, prospective partners, and their exes), and indulging in whirlwind ‘parasocial relationships’ (translation: one-sided affairs with celebrities she has never met).

Suddenly, with a diagnosis of early menopause in her late twenties, her relationship with the internet takes a darker turn, as her online addictions are thrown into sharp relief by the corporeal realities of illness and motherhood.

An outrageously funny, raw and painfully honest account of trying to find connection in the age of the internet, Is This Ok? is the launch of an exciting new comic voice.

The audiobook is narrated by Harriet Gibsone and includes an exclusive audio Q&A with Harriet.

So good

For the first 10mins or so I wasn't sure about the narration style but by the end I absolutely loved this – the best audiobook I've listened to in a long time. Very funny and very honest, I really enjoyed it.

Brutally honest, funny & relatable.

Loved it. A treat to hear someone else’s inner most embarrassing thoughts, and eloquently so.
