About a Girl is a raw, fast-burning novella that unfolds over the course of a single winter day. It starts at a bus stop, where a man and a woman-strangers-exchange a glance, a joke, and then decide to dive headfirst into an impulsive bar-crawl through the city. What follows is twelve electric hours of connection, chaos, and chemistry. As they stumble through dive bars and neon-lit streets, they encounter a parade of unforgettable oddballs-strippers, punks, philosophers, and misfits-each one adding color to their unfolding story. The bond between them deepens with every drink, every conversation, every shared silence. Laced with sharp wit, sexual tension, pop-culture references, and literary echoes, About a Girl is an unfiltered snapshot of urban life told through the eyes of two outsiders finding something real in a world that rarely is. Written in a free-flowing, jazz-like rhythm-long, lyrical sentences that glide across the page-this is storytelling that dances to the pulse of the city, wild and alive.
