“I hated looking for work. I hated circling the classifieds, I hated the web searches, I hated the web job sites, I hated the phony resumes, I hated the phony interviews. What do you think your greatest strength is? I got to the highest level of Wolfenstein II The New Colossus. How do you think that would help you in this job? Hand-eye coordination. High moral character - I killed a lot of bad guys. Oh, and I killed a few bad women too. Um, I killed some good guys, but I was still a beginner when that happened. What’s your greatest weakness? How much time you got? That would be an honest interview. But I need a job, so you have to make shit up and look like you care." Jack Lack has just lost another job to the invisible forces of automation, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. This time, though, he decides to get off the high-tech merry-go-round of serial job loss. This time, he is determined to fight back - but against who? And how? A Bit Too Much is a darkly humorous satire that will intrigue readers of contemporary fiction with its intriguing portrayal of a young man who grew up in the haze of Texas Gulf Coast refineries and is facing an uncertain future. “4/5 Stars – Loved It! The fear of losing one’s job to a robot is not misplaced, as 2019 news reports say that one-quarter of American jobs are at a high risk of automation. Clack has picked up on this sentiment perfectly and woven an all-too-real story around it. Descriptions of Amazon’s automated stores and Uber’s driverless cars give the story a sense of immediacy. The writing is smooth and descriptions are informative…tongue-in-cheek humor and biting sarcasm…” - Satabdi Mukherjee, Reedsy

An edgy, realistic debut novel praised by the New York Times bestselling author of Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys, as “a beautiful reminder that amid our broken pieces we can truly find ourselves.” Alexi Littrell hasn’t told anyone what happened to her over the summer by her backyard pool. Instead, she hides in her closet, counts the slats in the air vent, and compulsively scratches the back of her neck, trying to make the outside hurt more than the inside does—and deal with the trauma. When Bodee Lennox—“the Kool-Aid Kid”—moves in with the Littrells after a family tragedy, Alexi discovers an unlikely friend in this quiet, awkward boy who has secrets of his own. As their friendship grows, Alexi gives him the strength to deal with his past, and Bodee helps her summon the courage to find her voice and speak up about the rape that has changed the course of her life.
