About this listen

Award-winning sapphic author Macon Leigh presents a luminous novel of quiet resilience, unexpected connection, and the profound beauty found in ordinary moments.

Elsie Cohan is pretty sure she's going to be okay. And, these days, she'll take pretty sure. Back home after experiencing a serious mental health episode, Elsie is determined to get back to her life and her art. This time, for the first time, on her terms. Whatever that means. But, don't worry, she's going to figure it out. At least, she's pretty sure she will.

Dawson Monroe is making sure she is never not okay again. Step one was leaving behind the high-pressure culinary scene in New York City where she was making a name for herself. Step two was turning an old barn into a roadside barbecue joint. And step three, her final step, is running her roadside barbeque joint in complete obscurity forever.

When Fate brings Elsie to Dawson's doorstep, the two begin a stumbling journey towards both themselves and, if they can keep it from shattering, love.

Unspectacular Things is a tender, emotionally honest exploration of mental illness, healing, authenticity, and what it means to let yourself be seen.
