A few years after experiencing a major trauma, Bonnie Lincoln's luck has turned- so much so in fact that she has won the lottery. Bonnie has had plans for the money since before even buying the ticket, though. She is going to find a remote plot of land and recreate the set of her comfort show, Three's Company, where she will live in complete isolation as the characters of the show in rotation. By doing this, Bonnie plans to step out of a life of sadness, memories, and stress, and step into 1977, where the kisses are hers and hers and his.

"The humiliation of being alive and being seen. Oh it wrangled me. I wanted to kill the very fact."

When I initially read the synopsis of this, I immediately knew this was going to be in my reading wheelhouse. I viewed it, almost, as a cautionary tale for the escapist introverts of the world (who, me?). I never felt bored of Ashley Hutson's writing, and I honestly can't believe what a great debut this is. One's Company was a take on mental health, trauma, hyperfixations, and how we cope unlike anything I've ever read. I drew comparisons several times to My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, but I liked several aspects of One's Company more- I was more able to understand Bonnie's motivations because of her trauma.

One's Company releases on June 14th, and it's worth the read/listen! I listened via audiobook and the narrator was just perfect for the role. I was so impressed by this one.

Thanks so much to OrangeSky Audio as well as NetGalley for the opportunity to listen in exchange for my honest thoughts.
