I enjoyed this early 00s coming-of-age. Orla moves to London from Dublin and tries to find her path in the music industry. I loved it for my own memories of that early 00‘s music thing, although I shied away a bit from the never ending grubbiness/hedonism of Orla‘s life in London (Have a shower! Maybe take your makeup off?) but that was very much the point, and she ended up beguiling me and making me sad in turn, as all good books should do👇
JillR Last night I did a very brave thing and went to a Manchester Literary Festival author event with Annie Mcmanus ON MY OWN. It was so lovely to hear the author talk about her book, and parallels with her own life (even if I was too shy to do the book signing/chatting thing by myself 🫣) 7mo
Anna40 Great that you went on your own! Sounds like an awesome event. You‘ll do book signing and the rest another time. It‘s ok to be shy :) 7mo
squirrelbrain I got this as an ARC ages ago and haven‘t read it yet - sounds great though! And good on you for being brave - sounds like you had fun! 7mo
JillR @anna40 I never do things like this on my own, was so pleased I did! 7mo
JillR @squirrelbrain as you can see I enjoyed it, although not quite as much as her first Mother, Mother, which I loved 7mo
