Story
In Given's debut novel, we follow Eartha on a wild, weird and seductive modern-day exploration as she commences life as an openly bisexual woman whilst also becoming a viral sensation on Wonder Land, a social media app where people project their dream selves online. But as her online self and her offline self become more and more distanced, trauma from her past comes back to haunt and destroy her present. Eartha must make a choice: which version of herself should she kill off?

Story
There's this weird gap in life that's fuelled by cheap tacos and even cheaper tequila - also known as our 20s. It's a specific limbo of being suspended between being a teenager and a 'Proper Adult' and though it's wildly confusing, often lonely, sometimes embarrassing and frequently daunting, there's also a whole lot of magic to be found in the chaos. It's a time when we're finding our own voices, cementing our relationships and starting to fulfil our big ambitions (or simply just working out what they are).

Story
Thoughts and moods are chemical reactions in your brain that you might think you are powerless to control. But modern science has shown beyond doubt that changing your behaviour and thought patterns can rewire the neurological pathways of your brain to literally change how you think, feel and view yourself. In The Neuroscience of Self-Love, Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa takes the theory out of neuroscience and gives you practical tools and exercises to create a new self that is happier, more balanced and less dependent on others for validation.

Story
How does a feminist raise a son in a world that conditions boys into entitlement, privilege and power at the expense not just of girls' humanity but also their own? All boys start innocent, but by the time they are adolescents many of them will subscribe to a view of masculinity that is openly contemptuous of women and girls. This explosive new work will look at toxic masculinity and the closed ranks of brotherhood that shape an entitled, disrespectful and potentially dangerous idea of manhood.

So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

Clementine Ford is a person who has loved deeply, strangely and with curiosity. She is fascinated by love and how it makes its home in our hearts and believes that the way we continue to surrender ourselves to love is an act of great faith and bravery. This tender and lyrical memoir explores love in its many forms, through Clementine's own experiences. With clear eyes and an open heart, she writes about losing her adored mother far too young, about the pain and confusion of first love - both platonic and romantic - and the joy and heartache of adult love.

Editorial reviews
Wherever you are in your feminist journey, there’s plenty to learn and be inspired by in the empowering Women Don’t Owe You Pretty. Fearless, smart and insightful, this listen is a must for women looking to protect themselves, affirm their self worth and challenge expectations.
In Women Don’t Owe You Pretty, the feminist conversation is unlocked by Florence Given and she invites you right in to join her. Recording in her own living room, Given shares recollections and advice in a conversational style that's reminiscent of a memorable chat over a cup of coffee with a close friend. She reflects on the impact that the patriarchy has on the everyday world around us and supports and empowers you to see and act on this too — from deciding whether or not to dump him to avoiding the vicious pattern of fixating on other women’s flaws.
An accessible guide to feminism for the Instagram generation, Women Don’t Owe You Pretty unknots the age-old and often overly complex conversations about the male gaze and living to fulfil other people’s expectations. Instead, this audiobook refreshes the conversation with a contemporary and inclusive touch. And it’s not simply an intellectual exercise either: each anecdote will arm you with real-world knowledge and guide you along the first steps towards the radical act of loving yourself. It’s as eye-opening as it is game-changing.
Publisher's Summary
The Beauty Myth for the Instagram generation.
Women Don't Owe You Pretty is the ultimate book for anyone who wants to challenge the out-dated narratives supplied to us by the patriarchy.
Through Florence's story, you will learn how to protect your energy, discover that you are the love of your own life and realise that today is a wonderful day to dump them.
Florence Given is here to remind you that you owe men nothing, least of all pretty.
Warning: contains explicit content (and a load of uncomfortable truths).
The feminist book everyone is talking about.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book was brilliant in so many ways. Firstly I looove listening to Florence- the accent is awesome. There were so many lightbulb moments for me with this book and such great validation for past and recent hurt. I did feel a little triggered during one of the chapters and had a cry but I needed to hear what Florence said and it has helped me heal more. Thanks Floss!

The best thing you will ever read
This book is honestly life changing. Every single person in the entire world should read or listen to it. Florence has changed my life. Thank you for putting all of my feelings, my anger, my trauma, my core beliefs into the most beautiful and articulate words. It was challenging, heart breaking, informative, uncomfortable and overwhelming. But you know what? It was 100% worth it to come out the other end knowing that I am worthy, I am a woman, and I don’t owe anyone pretty. Eternally grateful, so much love x
