EDITOR'S CHOICE MAY 2021  ' What It Feels Like for a Girl says it like it is' Evening Standard
BEST NEW BOOKS IN 2021  Thirteen-year-old Byron needs to get away  and doesn't care how. Sick
of being beaten up by lads for "talkin' like a poof" after school. Sick of dad - the
weightlifting  womanising Gaz - and Mam  who pissed off to Turkey like Shirley Valentine. Sick
of all the people in Hucknall who shuffle about like the living dead  going on about kitchens
they're too skint to do up and marriages they're too scared to leave.  It's a new millennium 
Madonna's 'Music' is top of the charts and there's a whole world to explore - and Byron's happy
to beg  steal and skank onto a rollercoaster ride of hedonism. Life explodes like a rush of
ecstasy when Byron escapes into Nottingham's kinetic underworld and discovers the East
Midlands' premier podium-dancer-cum-hellraiser  the mesmerising Lady Die. But when the comedown
finally kicks in  Byron arrives at a shocking encounter that will change life forever.   Bold 
poignant and riotously funny  What It Feels Like For a Girl is the unique  hotly-anticipated
and addictively-readable debut from one of Britain's most exciting young writers.
