"Fresh, original, heartbreaking" Reni Eddo-Lodge "Devastating,
hilarious, unlike anything I have ever read. Destined to be a
classic" Pandora Sykes 'A must-read ... as mesmerising as it is
poignant' Stylist, SPRING MUST-READ BOOKS TO FEEL EMPOWERED 'This
utterly distinctive memoir, written almost out loud in
Nottinghamshire vernacular, hauls you into the world Lees grew up
in... it's shocking, funny, heart-rending and totally brilliant'
The Bookseller, EDITOR'S 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.
