I Might Be in Trouble

A heartfelt, hilarious and meta debut mystery about a struggling writer who finds inspiration in total calamity, already sweeping up rave reviews. Perfect for fans of Katy Brent, YELLOWFACE and THE PLOT.

Aleman's premise hooked me and oh my goodness, did he deliver! Prepare to gasp out loud, cringe, cackle, and cry alongside David as he and his unflappable agent carry a corpse around Manhattan. But, hilarious hijinks aside, at its heart, this is a book that isn't afraid to dive deep into heart wrenching isolation and the anxiety that comes with trying to figure out how to get your shit together.

Funny, relatable, and utterly bonkers , I Might Be in Trouble is an anxiety-ridden thrill ride that I couldn't put down. David Alvarez is one of those heartbreakingly vulnerable characters that you want to shake one moment, and wrap in a blanket to keep safe from harm the next. Come for the deadly hijinks, stay for the 'if I don't laugh, I'll cry' look at what it's like to work in publishing.

I gulped this book down in a single sitting. I Might Be In Trouble has everything I'm looking for in fiction : crackling dialogue, hilarious antics , and dead bodies at the Plaza. In the midst of it all, Daniel Aleman weaves together a compelling and wise story about what happens when our dreams elude us, and the power of art to help us find ourselves again.

If possible, get a friend to help you turn the pages of this book, because you'll be gripping it with white knuckles. I devoured this wickedly funny, pulse-quickening, enthralling dark comedy. Aleman has a master storyteller's hand.

Aleman's adult debut is both riotously funny and deeply touching. While David struggles to extricate himself from his impossible situation, his quest to combat loneliness and imposter syndrome is always hiding in the background. Readers will root for David throughout the book

Raw, funny, and almost too relatable, Aleman's I Might Be in Trouble is a bracing romp through the perils of the publishing world. I can't decide which I love more: the morbid, laugh-so-you-don't-cry humor, or David, our flawed, very human protagonist just trying his damn best. This twisty story of personal and artistic redemption kept me glued to the pages through the wee hours of the night.

I loved this book. It shows the anxiety that comes with early success and how personal relationships can be more important than a career. It was funny, the right amount of morbid, and strangely romantic.
