About this listen

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 selfishly pissed off to Turkey like Shirley Valentine. Sick of the people who shuffle about Hucknall 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 discovers the Fallen Divas Project and 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.

Unflinching, hilarious and heartbreaking, What It Feels Like for a Girl is the unique, hotly anticipated and addictively listenable debut from one of Britain's most exciting young writers.

I cried

Paris I love you gerl!!!

The writing was wild, I'm glad it forced me to listen to it cause hearing these words from her mouth MADE this story for me. I wish she read the acknowledgements!!! However, I did on ma own and I sobbed. A fantastically raw and real story that oozes love and shows a capacity for suffering that led to the most amazing and inspiring story of growth <3
