My Person: The big BFF break-up novel of the summer - Téa Mutonji

My Person

(Author: Téa Mutonji)

“I want to, like, I don't know how else to say it but, I want to unknow you.”

A moment of silence. Then Margot started laughing.

Tania and Margot have been best friends for over twenty years. But as they prepare to host their monthly dinner party, Tania drops a devastating bombshell: this friendship isn't working for her anymore.

But how do you extricate yourself from someone whose family owns your apartment, who has taken you in as one of their own, and who claims you as their ultimate "person"?

Caught in the middle of a tense, excruciating will-they-won't-they friendship breakup, Tania and Margot are forced to look back at two decades of shared history. Together, they must reckon with where everything went wrong—or whether their intense, world-defining bond was toxic from the very beginning.

Written with razor-sharp precision, flair, and deep empathy, My Person is a taut, piercing exploration of modern female friendship, class dynamics, girlhood, and identity. Bestselling author Téa Mutonji delivers an addictive and astutely observed novel about how the people closest to us can both build us up and unravel our lives.
