Book description
Honest, funny, moving conversations about mental health, identity and contemporary issues between bestselling author and her teenage daughter'Fascinating... a much needed conversation between generations' THE TIMESHow can we communicate when things are so painful? How can we connect when generational differences are extreme? How do parents and teenagers - and all of us - have real conversations?When Rowan was sixteen, she only tolerated communication from her mother in the form of Snapchat. Desperate to be closer to her daughter, Christie sent daily selfies of her face superimposed onto a chicken nugget. It took serious illness for them to finally talk - and truly listen.Rowan's mental health struggles revealed the chasm between their generations. They started being more honest with each other than they had ever been before: discussing identity, race, gender and neurodivergence; opening up about disordered eating and self-harm; navigating the perils of social media.In an age of polarisation, this is how a mother and daughter find humour in the things that divide them and become more hopeful about the future of our world.A book for all parents and teenagers going through a tough time, for friends, grandparents, teachers and healthcare professionals who want to help, its bare honesty will have you laughing - and possibly crying - out loud as it shows that you are not alone.'I loved this book and I know it will help many families during difficult times' JULIA SAMUEL'Incredibly brave, generous and important' CLOVER STROUD'It made me cry, laugh and hug my daughter extra tightly' BRYONY GORDON
