Georgia Toews

Georgia Toews’s novel Nobody Asked for This follows 23-year-old comedian Virginia as she navigates grief, a collapsing friendship and a date gone wrong. A rich, darkly comic, raw portrait of early adulthood, trauma and the limits of humour as a coping mechanism.

Georgia Toews is the author of the critically acclaimed debut novel Hey, Good Luck Out There. She is also a writer for film and television. Born and raised in Winnipeg, she now lives in Toronto.
