About this book

The most fucked up memoir you'll ever read.

A foul-mouthed memoir about a dysfunctional life.

Each chapter recounts a key moment in the author's life through the books she was reading at the time including:

  • Howard's End, the only text she had read whilst engaging in sexual intercourse.
  • The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, which she had in her bag while on holiday in Tangier when a market trader offered her to buy her from her mother for 30 camels.
  • Angela's Ashes, her chosen reading material during her breast reduction surgery.
  • Wild Swans, the book she read the day she decided to have nothing more to do with her mother.

It is funny, it is shocking, it is heartbreaking, it is very rude and it is totally unforgettable.
