The Girl I Was

«The Girl I Was» — a heartwarming story about the healing power of self-love. A novel with atmospheric black-and-white illustrations in the chapter design, filled with nostalgia for America in the 2000s, reflections on friendship, love, time, and responsibility.
Alexis Spencer knows inspiring quotes for every occasion, especially to justify her own failures and misfortunes. She has almost no friends, and her student debt hasn't decreased since graduation. But these are just minor details, since «what will be, will be».
When one day she loses her job and her relationship, there is no quote that could comfort her. By habit, Alexis blames everyone around — the world, circumstances, and even her past self for not trying hard enough. In a fit of self-pity, she opens a bottle of vodka that had gathered dust since college, and everything after that is like a fog… In the morning, she comes to her senses not at home. Not in her city. And it seems, not in her time…
