Description
The frank and offbeat debut collection from award-winning comedian and broadcaster Josie Long
Josie Long's first collection reveals a natural gift with a frank and poignant tale; teenage experience, community WhatsApp groups and broken family units are picked apart with a wry cynicism at the weirdness and cruelty of life . . . an approachable debut full of heart and hope
Josie Long can REALLY write. Read these stories NOW
Her writing is miraculous. A dazzling debut
Josie's stories are like her comedy - beautifully observed, strange, good-hearted, unsettling and truly funny. Read them immediately
I loved this short story collection. Funny, poignant, daft, and occasionally even hilariously cynical
Josie's writing is everything I love about her stand-up: sharp and smart, hilarious and incisive, infused with love for the world and the complicated people who live in it. A joy to read
Josie Long is my favourite comedian and when reading these stories, all the cynicism I've acquired gets replaced by the enthusiasm I felt the first time I saw her live
Josie's stories are tender, devastating and hilarious, often all at the same time. Opening up this book is like skinny-dipping in the brain of a genius - I never wanted to come up for air
No-one manages to mix the profound with the funny quite like Josie Long. She's not just the voice of a generation, she's it's head and heart too. Her writing is exquisite, her performances invigorating and inspirational. I could not love this woman more. She's just the best
I knew this book would be funny and relatable. I didn't know it would also be angry, heartbreaking and knife-sharp. I love these stories
