About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

"You're so desperate to make everybody else happy that you've forgotten what makes you happy. You've not just forgotten it, you've abandoned it, on a bonfire full of all your other hopes and dreams. A bonfire you're too scared to light in case the neighbours report you to the council."

Olivia Greenwood has been trying very hard to please people for a very long time.
But today is going to change Olivia in a big way. A soul-crushing career disappointment, a fiery young woman with a chip on her shoulder and a cigarette in her hand, and one single blue hallucinogenic gummy all lead to a raucous night out and one hell of a hangover. And when Olivia wakes up the next morning, it seems she's unable to please anyone but HERSELF.
So who actually is Olivia Greenwood, when she's not trying to be what everyone else wants her to be?

Fiercely funny and instantly relatable, this is the first novel from the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Bryony Gordon – the most joyfully honest feminist in journalism.
