What to expect
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 brand-new 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.
Critics Review
-
Hollie McNish’s words always sweep me away. They’re nostalgia mixed with the realisation of what we’ve been fed. Reminiscence leading to discoveries before the arrival of acceptance, healing and contentment. The perfect book about life to make you question what you think is true. I wish I could’ve read it sooner!
Giovanna Fletcher -
funny, so smart and refreshingly honest
Sarah Millican -
Poems to feed your soul: 480 pages of funny, wise and thought-provoking reflections on how to embrace ourselves and our lives, just as we are
