Whatever this is

Nobody asked for this

Charly Cox lays bare the last decade of her life.

In this anthology of poetry, combining her bestselling collections She Must Be Mad and Validate Me, and with 70 new poems and handwritten annotations, she paints a complex picture of the formative experiences of womanhood and living with Bipolar II disorder.

From first loves, to lost loves, to the dark humour of mental illness, Nobody Asked For This is an intimate and unflinchingly honest exploration of growing up in the 21st century.
