About this listen

'Persistently funny, ill-advisedly honest and deadly accurate' – Caitlin Moran

'This book is a delight - very real and very entertaining' – Bob Mortimer

Music journalist, self-professed creep and former winner of the coveted ‘Fittest Girl in Year 11’ award, Harriet Gibsone lives in fear of her internet searches being leaked.

Harriet spent much of her young life feeding neuroses and insecurities with obsessive internet searching (including compulsive googling of exes, prospective partners, and their exes), and indulging in whirlwind ‘parasocial relationships’ (translation: one-sided affairs with celebrities she has never met).

Suddenly, with a diagnosis of early menopause in her late twenties, her relationship with the internet takes a darker turn, as her online addictions are thrown into sharp relief by the corporeal realities of illness and motherhood.

An outrageously funny, raw and painfully honest account of trying to find connection in the age of the internet, Is This Ok? is the launch of an exciting new comic voice.

The audiobook is narrated by Harriet Gibsone and includes an exclusive audio Q&A with Harriet.

'Very funny and deeply moving' – Sara Pascoe

'Hilarious and brutal! I could not put it down' – Lou Sanders

Critic reviews

Laugh-out-loud-on-the-train funny . . . swings between silliness and profundity . . . This is a book to hold on to and one to share, a warning and a map created by a watchful girl, telling others what may lie ahead (Maeve Higgins, Guardian)
This book is a delight - very real and very entertaining. (Bob Mortimer)
Persistently funny, ill-advisedly honest and deadly accurate . . . My mind is blown (Caitlin Moran, author of More Than a Woman)
A hugely enjoyable read . . . [a] delight of a memoir (Otegha Uwagba, The Times)
Eye-wateringly honest and all-too-relatable . . . funny and wise
Very funny and deeply moving. (Sara Pascoe)
Hilarious and brutal! I could not put it down (Lou Sanders)
Brutally honest but brilliantly funny and poignant too . . . Utterly relatable
Hilarious and cringe-inducingly nostalgic . . . It’s a cliché to say “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry”, but with this book, you really will
A singular and truly funny voice (Jamie Demitriou)
Deeply intense, and insane (in a great way). (Robert Popper, creator of Friday Night Dinner)
Written with humour and intelligence
A raw and funny memoir exploring mental health, illness and motherhood against the backdrop of obsessive internet and social media activity.
Gloriously unfiltered, hilariously unhinged and utterly unlike anything else you'll read this year. Harriet's incredibly moving memoir made me laugh out loud, cringe, reminisce and think deeply. What a wonderful introduction to a truly singular comedic voice; I remain in awe! (Yomi Adegoke)
Very funny and moving
Devastating and funny as f*ck. I can't remember when I was last so struck by a voice . . . Harriet Gibsone is a SPECTACULAR writer (Terri White)
Just read this from its giggly heights to its mortifying depths . . . I feel like I've been through something. Something really worth going through. (Frank Cottrell-Boyce)
Brilliant. Incredibly funny, chillingly accurate, real sad. Harriet Gibsone is a spectacular writer (Stevie Martin)

For the first 10mins or so I wasn't sure about the narration style but by the end I absolutely loved this – the best audiobook I've listened to in a long time. Very funny and very honest, I really enjoyed it.

So good
