Slags

'Her best yet – funny, gritty, delightfully feral and, as ever, painfully truthful' Dolly Alderton 'Compulsive and hilarious, like a brilliant gossip with your best friend. Emma Jane Unsworth is my favourite. She understands what it is to be a modern woman, and makes me feel better about it' Sara Pascoe 'An amazing writer' Margot Robbie ‘This new book from one of our favourite British authors is set to be her best yet. A frank exploration of sisterhood, Scottish road trips and leaving one’s demons in the past' ELLE, Books to Look Forward to in 2025 'The strongest prose stylist of our age. Slags is so brilliant, warm and funny. Women are going to be extraordinarily grateful for her putting to the page the difficult stuff and making it funny. That's her magic trick. Slags is the most distressing funny novel I’ve ever read, like I May Destroy You was the most distressing funny show I've seen. It's a huge compliment because it takes such courage and clarity of vision – and there’s no other author in England who warrants it as Unsworth does' Emma Forrest 'Emma Jane Unsworth is one of the best writers to ever live – fact – and SLAGS is already an early contender for my book of the decade. This novel is somehow hilariously funny, while also being scathing and searingly honest about the world and compellingly readable. I read this in one go, unable to put it down, and I still now can't stop thinking about Sarah and Juliette. I love love loved it and will be telling everyone I know to read it – while also calling them slags' Lucy Vine
