‘Abigail Mann is a sparky new talent on the scene. The Lonely Fajita is comforting, witty, wise and thoroughly entertaining. (And it made me crave fajitas)’ Milly Johnson
It’s Elissa’s birthday, and she’s accidentally booked a cervical smear instead of a celebration… Great. The icing on the cake? Her boyfriend is kicking her out of their houseshare.
So when she’s offered the chance to live with a pensioner rent-free, Elissa knows she needs to impress Annie, who turned down the last twenty-two applicants. Somehow, even after Elissa goes on about ‘definitely not being an axe-murderer’, Annie chooses her.
And just like Elissa, prickly, sweary, big-hearted Annie could use a friend. Elissa may have nowhere else to go, but is she just where she needs to be?
A book you’ll want to share with all your friends. The perfect uplifting read for fans of Marian Keyes and Beth O’Leary – and if you love The Lonely Fajita, don’t miss Abigail’s next book The Sister Surprise!
Shortlisted for a 2019 Comedy Women in Print Prize

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The Lonely Fajita is a dive into the life of someone whose luck goes from bad to worse, as Abigail Mann’s protagonist, Elissa, finds herself in a quarter-life crisis. In her funny debut, the author encapsulates navigating life with no real direction or destination yet still taking its trials in your stride. Some characters are relatable, some are despicable, but they are all written with a depth and clarity that’s hard not to appreciate. It’s clear why Mann was shortlisted for a 2019 Comedy Women in Print Prize and The Lonely Fajita shows that friendship and love can go much further than you might realise—even when it seems like nothing is going right.
