Toews' debut novel, Hey, Good Luck Out There (2022), humorously recounts the author's struggle with addiction, recovery and apartment-hunting during her late teens and early twenties.^[3][4][5] In her second novel, Nobody Asked for This (2025), Toews examines her young adulthood and tests the limits of humor itself through the lens of a wryly observant stand-up comedian named Virginia Woolard.^[6][7][8][9]

Toews is frequently^{[citation needed]} depicted in novels by her mother, author Miriam Toews, including as the teenage character Nora Von Riesen, whose "archly lacerating exchanges" with her mother permeate All My Puny Sorrows (2014, adapted for film in 2021).^[10]
