This is a love letter to friendship. I want you to write it on me in ink and then press me against the pages, your personal printing press.

Nothing But My Body is an eight-day journey through the mind of a young woman, a queer sex worker in Australia, as she navigates breakups and infatuation across thirteen months. The unnamed narrator’s voice is both fierce and vulnerable, defiant and tender, as she explores the interplay between her external and internal world, and the fluctuations of her emotions and mental health as love affairs intensify and wane. Her lows are assuaged by her beloved chosen family—her friends—and by the comfort she takes from the natural world.

This stunning, unflinching and lyrical debut is a reckoning with the body as both abject and joyous, a rejection of romantic love, and a euphoric celebration of queerness and community.

Such a different perspective on a topic I'd rarely heard about. Her writing is beautiful, spiralling from the gritty present to esoteric, lavishly written digressions and tangents. such a talent, and such a love for Australia.

If I had any of the talent Tilly does for writing I’d write a wonderfully poetic review, but there are no combinations of praise I know that will do this book any justice! More books please Tilly! The world would be better for it xx

Just beautiful!

I worked as a sensual masseuse in new Zealand. Although I don't share as many negative parts of sex work, maybe because I was always ''on top' of the person while massaging and didn't let people enter me, I do realte on many levels. This book is so brave and real, your thoughts have such depth, they touch me. I couldn't wait to continue listening to you. thank you!
