About this listen

A brand-new collection from the award-winning poet, the companion piece to the Sunday Times bestselling Slug
'Funny, so smart and refreshingly honest' SARAH MILLICAN

'Hollie McNish's words always sweep me away' GIOVANNA FLETCHER

This book is written out of both hate and love for the world
As people, we are capable of both love and hate; amazement and disgust; fun and misery. So why do we live in a world that is constantly telling us to hate, both ourselves and others?

We are told to be repulsed by our own bodies, bodies that let us laugh and sweat and eat toast; to be ashamed of pleasure; to be embarrassed by fun.

In this collection, Hollie McNish brings her inimitable style to the question of what have been taught to hate, and if we might learn to love again.

'Never have we needed her more' STYLIST

'I've loved her work for years' JO BRAND

'She writes with honesty, conviction, humour and love' KAE TEMPEST

What a book! I cried and laughed and cried from laughter!
Hollie is real, raw - does not give a s#%*€ whether it’s right or wrong and just says it as it is. Harsh truth of today’s world mixed and made fun of. Also a reminder for all women or men to JUST BE THEMSELVES! Must read/listen!

Wise and beautiful words. They'll make you laugh and rage and cry. You'll want to share this book with everyone you know because it is wonderful and life-affirming and better than any self help book at reminding you what is important in life

Hollie is a fantastic writer and delivers her work just as divinely through spoken media as she does through the pages of her books. Thought provoking, touching and thoroughly relatable!

It made me laugh, it made me cry!
