FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ADULTS AND ANIMALS
'Compulsive and hilarious, like a brilliant gossip with your best friend. Emma Jane Unsworth is my favourite' Sara Pascoe
'Her best yet – funny, gritty, delightfully feral and, as ever, painfully truthful' DOLLY ALDERTON
‘An amazing writer’ MARGOT ROBBIE
Once a slag, always a slag?
It’s the 1990s. Sarah is 15, obsessed with sex, getting drunk on Malibu, and her teacher, Mr Keaveney.
Fast forward: Sarah is 41, the last of the party girls. But the mad nights out are losing their shine.
Craving adventure, she sets off with her sister Juliette on a whisky-fuelled campervan trip across Scotland.
They know all the dark corners of each other’s history – and it’s time to dig up some demons, kicking and screaming.
Because the things that once defined us shouldn’t define us forever… should they?
'A riotous road trip… Thelma and Louise in a campervan' GUARDIAN
