and had me really laughing the next.' XOCHITL GONZALEZ author of OLGA DIES DREAMING 'Hands

WE HATE AT THE WEDDING 'Audacious and hilarious.' RUMAAN ALAM author of LEAVE THE WORLD
BEHIND For Constance 'Connie' Costa life is just beginning. She dreams of leaving behind her
dull dreary life in '70s East London shaking off her deeply embarrassing Greek-Cypriot
community of interfering Aunties and pretend 'cousins' and running away with her best mate Vas
(fellow misfit NHS specs soul of a poet). She is determined to take her rightful place
alongside her hero David Bowie onstage at Wembley Stadium. Only one thing stands in her way:
her father The Fat Murderer. No longer content with being an absolute imbecile and general
abomination of nature he has dialled up his campaign to ruin Connie's life ever since the
untimely death of her mother. If she ever wants to claim the destiny that is rightfully hers
Connie has only one option left: to kill him. Fizzingly original disarmingly tender and
laugh-out-loud funny BIG NOBODY is a coming-of-age story about first love first grief and
the long painful journey to feeling like a somebody. READERS LOVE CONNIE COSTA . . .
