Un livre à la forme hybride et au fond tellement, tellement important. De réflexions sur la sexualité et la sexualisation hypocrite des femmes à la parentalité, la peur de l'étranger inconnu ou encore les règles, tant de sujets essentiels abordés avec une franchise et un humour désarmant. 
Une de mes meilleures lectures de l'année.

I'm not a poetry person but I'd heard several people mention how accessible this was, both in terms of themes and style so I thought I'd try it. I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed it. It's actually a mixture of poems, stories and essays and McNish covers such a wide range of topics. It's funny, sad and powerful and there are so many parts I loved. I thought I might jump back and forth at first but I ended up reading the chapters in order. I particularly enjoyed that she included essays which give more context to some of her poems. 

A joy of a collection. It's like having a brew and a chat with you best friend.
Hollie effortlessly combines poetry, short stories and essays in this wonderful collection covering all the things involved in being a woman today from periods to family relationships. Incredibly sharp, witty and heartfelt in all the best possible ways. Some passages feel like Hollie has a power to look into the deepest parts of you brain.
The passages about her Granny hit pretty hard too and I imagine everyone who had that one special relationship with a Grandparent will identify with.
My original plan was to read bits and pieces every so often but as soon as I started it last night I knew I need to absorb it in one go and that's exactly what I did. This will definitely be one to dip back into in the future, brilliant piece of work.
