From the sharp, inventive mind of comedian and writer Josie Long comes a vibrant collection of short stories that capture the quiet chaos and unlikely beauty of everyday life.

In these offbeat and emotionally resonant tales, three teenage girls are convinced they’re witches, a woman takes artistic revenge on a billboard, and a bored landlord meddles in the life of his sons best friend. A cul-de-sac WhatsApp group spirals into absurdity over eggs, a pregnant woman discovers time travel, and a young girl finds freedom riding a stolen bike.

With wit, warmth, and a touch of surrealism, Long distills life into sharp snapshotsfunny, strange, and deeply human. Each story offers a glimpse into a world where the mundane becomes magical and where small moments crack open with unexpected meaning.

Because I Dont Know What You Mean and What You Dont is a dazzling debut collection that celebrates the oddness of modern life and the quiet power of connection, imagination, and escape.
