About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A Number One Sunday Times bestseller, from the award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of How to Be a Woman.

Now a major film directed by Coky Giedroyc and starring Ladybird's Beanie Feldstein as Johanna Morrigan and Game of Thrones's Alfie Allen as John Kite.

My name’s Johanna Morrigan. I’m fourteen, and I’ve just decided to kill myself.

I don’t really want to die, of course! I just need to kill Johanna, and build a new girl. Dolly Wilde will be everything I want to be, and more! But as with all the best coming-of-age stories, it doesn’t exactly go to plan…

Very good read the narration was excellent. Only criticism is the fowl language used and the repetitive sex references but l wont be marking it down for that ....maybe lm just more prudish than the average listener but it would have been good to know before hand about the language.

Over the top bad language and frequent sex references - but easy to follow and quite moving in places. I enjoyed it overall.

Interesting read.
