Disappoint Me

Af: Nicola Dinan Engelsk Hardback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser

The brand-new novel from the critically acclaimed author of Bellies, a funny and poignant exploration of millennial angst, race, trans panic, and the allure of bougie domesticity.

Chosen as a ‘Best Book of 2025’ by Cosmopolitan, Stylist, Elle, Dazed, Vogue, AnOther, and GQ

''One of the UK’s most perceptive young novelists with her finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary behaviour'' Guardian

''Riveting, funny and devastating'' Shon Faye, bestselling author of The Transgender Issue


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?

Funny, moving, and poignant, Disappoint Me reckons with the pressures of living the ''right'' kind of life and making peace with the past.
