Monica Heisey's Big Year

Catch Up with Louise McSharry · Dec 22, 2023 · 44m

Monica Heisey's year began with the January publication of Really Good, Actually, her debut novel, and finished with the launch of Smothered, a television series she co-created and wrote.

Really Good, Actually was loved by both critics and readers thanks to its sharp writing and frighteningly accurate portrayal of life in the immediate aftermath of a big break-up. It also gives great insight into what it's like to get a divorce when your friends have barely entered the serious relationship space.

Smothered is a six-part romantic comedy which has also been a hit with the critics, and me, tbh…
