'Her best yet โ funny, gritty, delightfully feral and, as ever, painfully truthful' DOLLY ALDERTON
โAn amazing writerโ MARGOT ROBBIE
Once a slag, always a slag?Itโs the 1990s. Sarah is 15, obsessed with boy bands, sex and getting drunk on Malibu. Most of all, sheโs hung up on her teacher, Mr Keaveney.
Fast forward 25 years. Sarah is 41, the last of the party girls. But the mad nights out are losing their shine. And her teenage dreams are now distant, queasy memories.
Thereโs only one thing for it: an adventure. So, Sarah sets off with her sister Juliette on a whisky-fuelled campervan trip across Scotland.
The sisters have never been alike, but they know all the dark corners of each otherโs history โ and itโs time to dig up some demons, kicking and screaming.
Because the things that once defined us shouldnโt define us forever, should they?
