About this listen

A brand-new collection from the award-winning poet, the companion piece to the Sunday Times bestselling Slug
'Funny, so smart and refreshingly honest' SARAH MILLICAN

'Hollie McNish's words always sweep me away' GIOVANNA FLETCHER

This book is written out of both hate and love for the world
As people, we are capable of both love and hate; amazement and disgust; fun and misery. So why do we live in a world that is constantly telling us to hate, both ourselves and others?

We are told to be repulsed by our own bodies, bodies that let us laugh and sweat and eat toast; to be ashamed of pleasure; to be embarrassed by fun.

In this collection, Hollie McNish brings her inimitable style to the question of what have been taught to hate, and if we might learn to love again.

'Never have we needed her more' STYLIST

'I've loved her work for years' JO BRAND

'She writes with honesty, conviction, humour and love' KAE TEMPEST

Joyful

Brilliant work, beautifully read. There are genuine laugh out loud poems as well as ones that make my heart ache. The book beautifully articulates issues and experiences, many of which I share, in a way that is both funny and insightful

Easy to listen to and to dip in and out of. I've always read Hollie's work before, but this is just as good an experience if not better. I will be buying a paper copy too!

I Love Hollie McNish

Wise and beautiful words. They'll make you laugh and rage and cry. You'll want to share this book with everyone you know because it is wonderful and life-affirming and better than any self help book at reminding you what is important in life

Brilliant.

Smiled and laughed along so many times. Loved the narration. If you follow her instagram, you’ll love this. You won’t regret it.
