'Goodbye, Vitamin builds with humor, gusto and such deceptive
lightness that the reader wonders, at its devastating end, how
debut author Rachel Khong managed to pull it off so beautifully.
The only possible answer is that Khong is a magician, and we are
lucky to fall under her spell at the beginning of her brilliant
writing life’
*Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies*
'Rachel Khong’s first novel sneaks up on you – just like life,
illness and heartbreak. And love. A million small, human and often
deeply funny details gather force to tell a tale that is
ultimately, incredibly poignant'
*Miranda July, author of The First Bad Man*
‘There’s beauty, humour and absurdity in even the most tragic
situation as Rachel Khong demonstrates in Goodbye, Vitamin’

‘Funny and tragic, heart-breaking and life-affirming, it reminds
you that in the end, that’s all there is – countless passing
moments’
*Grazia*
‘A tragi-comic story about holding a family together when life
wants to break them apart and finding yourself when you thought you

loss’
