“Get it!” - Kirkus Reviews

All Opal Slepecki wants is loyalty.
When her badly behaved friends refuse to help her die, it’s hard not to take it personally.

It’s been eighteen hours since she asked for their help.

The brash pill-popper.
The shameless exhibitionist.
And the mysterious beauty, have all gone quiet.

Opal knew the request would be jarring, awkward even, for the life long friends.
But these women have survived worse.

Haven’t they?

Why Is My Bra Still On? is a darkly comedic novel for readers who like layered women, sharp humor, and unsettling turns.

If you love Fleabag, Dead to Me and an edgy book club read, you're in the right place.

Note: This novel contains mature themes, dark humor, and emotional triggers. It is happily not cozy or preachy.
