Someone Used the Last of Toilet Paper

Becca Marcus has spent years being the person who notices everything.The empty milk carton. The school form. The dog food. The birthday reminder. The thing nobody else can find even though it is six inches away.Then someone uses the last roll of toilet paper.And says nothing.It should not be a big deal.It is, in fact, a very big deal.What begins as one ridiculous household indignity sends Becca into a reluctant experiment: stop fixing everything. Stop remembering everything. Stop being the family search engine, calendar, inventory system, and emergency response team.The results are not graceful.Her husband insists he always helps when asked. Her daughter discovers the terror of managing her own laundry. Her teenage son meets consequences. Becca discovers that letting other people figure things out may actually be harder than doing everything herself.And somewhere between badly loaded dishwashers, forgotten birthdays, frozen pizza, questionable pottery bowls, and a deeply unnecessary amount of toilet paper, Becca starts to realize that being needed is not the same as being loved.Someone Used the Last of the Toilet Paper is a sharp, warm, laugh-out-loud contemporary novel about invisible labor, family chaos, long-term love, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes everyone else is part of the problem.And sometimes you are too.
