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.
