For fans of Really Good Actually and I’m Glad My Mom Died’Moving, hilarious and generally astonishing’ – Guardian’Brave, funny and moving’ – Aisling Bea ‘A deftness that catches your breath’ – Fern Brady’An incredible piece of writing’ – Brett Goldstein’Interrogates moments of trauma with insight, kindness and humanity’ – John RobinsThis is a book about mistakes. And why we should de-flower shame in all its messy, complicated glory…
This book contains tales of dead dads, pretend dead dads, getting barred from an osteopath’s, getting arrested, sex crimes and forgiveness. I used to be addicted to boys and alcohol and then men and alcohol and then some other things. I was a little unhinged. I’ve got some great stories about when I was as mad as cheese and then some more stories about how I got less mad and more happy.
If that’s the sort of thing you’re after, please pick me up and take me to bed (that’s the book speaking so a little joke there).
