In Hannah Beer’s debut novel, “I Make My Fun,” readers are introduced to Marina, an unreliable narrator and IT Girl. Marina becomes infatuated with Anna, a young person from Gen Z who is simply trying to make a living in London. What follows is a sort of reverse version of Misery, where the celebrity becomes the fanatic.
It’s a book that’s hard to put down, filled with an antihero and her erratic actions—like a train wreck you can't look away from. The story is dark, funny, and captivatingly twisted.
I highly recommend this novel, especially for fans who enjoy messy protagonists or unreliable narrators. If you liked Jen Beagin’s "Big Swiss," Emma Cline's "The Girls," Liann Zhang’s "Julie Chan is Dead," Hannah Deitch’s "Killer Potential," Kit Conway’s "Cat Fight," Swan Huntley’s "I Want You More," or Oyinkan Braithwaite’s "My Sister, the Serial Killer," you will likely appreciate this book as well.
