Summary

'Quirky… and real fun too!' Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, The Independent 
Jane has the ideal life: loving husband, beautiful house and delightful son. Her fashionable dinner parties are perfect - and so are her secret assignations with her neighbour's husband, Jay. From Tracey and her ‘New Money’ lottery winnings to eccentric artist Philip and his pornographic portraits, the residents of North London's most privileged enclave The Square are a very satisfied bunch. To raise money for communal fencing, the Residents' Association decides to hold a Talent Show, produced by Jane and hosted by TV celebrity Alan Makin. But when the show lurches into public disarray, reputations are shattered and everyone has to learn to live with a far less glossy reality than before. 
'A much-welcomed comedy of manners' Jane Green, New York Times Bestselling author 
'Pin-sharp and wickedly funny' Adam Foulds, Granta Best of Young British Novelists 
'A waspish portrait shot through with wit, insight and buckets of glorious bonking' Jonathan Maitland

    Are you able to give your first impressions a second look? In this lighthearted and humorous take on life, Knox McCoy explores questioning and examining long-held ideas that no longer represent how we think. 
What would it mean to really examine what you think you know about yourself and your beliefs? To not just rely on the cliches you’ve always recited to yourself but to look deeply into why you think what you think? 
In All Things Reconsidered, popular podcaster Knox McCoy uses a unique blend of humor, pop culture references, and personal stories to show how a willingness to reconsider ideas can actually help us grow ourselves, our lives, and our beliefs. In this laugh-out-loud defense of changing your mind, Knox dives into a variety of topics including:Are participation trophies truly the worst?Is it really worth it to be a ride-or-die sports fan?Do we believe in God because of the promise of heaven—or the threat of hell?Does prayer work? Is anyone even there? 
In a world where we’re divided by political, social, and religious differences, All Things Reconsidered is a hilarious and insightful book of essays that reminds us of the value of reflection and open-mindedness.

    “[A] satire of celebrity culture and the numbing effects of fame” by the international bestselling comedy writer and author of Things Can Only Get Better (Publishers Weekly).   It’s a big night at the London Palladium. Jimmy Conway is about to perform his stand-up comedy routine in front of two thousand invited guests and millions more watching the event live on TV. He steps into the spotlights and waits for the applause to die down. He tries to appear confident but he can’t help wondering whether he should have shared his little secret with someone by now. Jimmy has never performed comedy, or anything, before. Ever.   How did he get here? After convincing a naive journalist that he is the latest comedy phenomenon, the under-achieving Jimmy bluffs and stumbles his way up the celebrity ladder, discovering as he goes that in their desperation to be associated with the next big thing, nobody has bothered to check his credentials. Quicker than you can say “flavor of the month,” Jimmy Conway becomes a bogus celebrity, winning an award for something he never did, and ultimately fooling the entire celebrity industry.   “A wicked farce.” —Daily Express
