'This book is a glowing achievement by one of the best essayists of
her generation' Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff ‘Witty, fresh and full of
life’ Liv Little ‘I can’t recommend more highly… it’s one
of those books that I just want to press in the hands of
everybody’ Damian Barr, Literary Salon Podcast
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Kimberly McIntosh has lived a full life, with a loving family,
messy friendships, mind-expanding travel and all-night parties.
She’s also spent that life wondering why such opportunities
aren’t always available to people who look like her. Stemming
from years of social policy research and campaign work, this essay
collection brings together all that Kimberly has learned; whether
that’s dismantling the myth of social mobility for those who toe
the line, to understanding why her teenage Facebook posts are quite
so cringe. In it, she uses her own experiences to reveal how
systematic injustice impacts us all, from the pressure of nuclear
families, to enduring toxic friendships, to how painful it can be
to watch Love Island. Perfect for fans of Slay In Your Lane, Trick
Mirror, and Bad Feminist, this dazzling debut collection
brilliantly melds the personal and political to not only tell the
story of a life, but what that life might teach us.
