"Barbara the Slut"

Last night I was invited to Trinity Hall, Cambridge by HarperCollins for a little party. There we watched a film highlighting all the new and exciting publications out soon and throughout the Summer (with popcorn to nibble), lots of lovely HarperCollins people to chat to, free wine, banana beer, a lovey picnic spread, and FREE BOOKS.

Highlight of my evening was receiving this...

 

 



Through some research - I found that it was related to this:

 

 

Holmes presents 10 first-person narratives in this collection, an eminently readable debut from a fresh voice. Use of the m word—Millennial—is inevitable when describing these stories, as they're filled with young people taking stock of their surroundings with shrugs and resigned sighs at their own diminished expectations.  "A fresh, honest, and darkly funny debut collection about family, friends, and lovers, and the flaws that make us most human."

 

I will track it down and give you my review later this Summer!
