GUTS

"My dad called to tell me he was moving to Germany to marry a woman he met on FarmVille. I told him, Good, and hung up."

When Stellas father announces hes leaving the country to marry a stranger he met online, shes relieved to finally slam the door on the chaotic relationship that has haunted her since childhood in Sheffield. But when her beloved grandmother reveals her dying wish - to see Stella and her father reconciled - shes forced to confront the man shes spent years trying to escape.

As Stella attempts to untangle the mess hes left behind, she ricochets through disastrous relationships, questionable life choices, terrible jobs, spectacular nights out and an unforgettable parade of f*ckboys, all while trying to build the life she actually wants in London. Funny, painfully relatable and bursting with heart, GUTS is a novel about inherited trauma, complicated families, terrible men, incredible food, unlikely friendships and the extraordinary courage it takes to choose yourself.

For anyone whos ever laughed through heartbreak, loved the wrong person, or wondered whether breaking the cycle is really possible, GUTS is a fearless, hilarious and deeply moving debut from a dazzling new literary voice about finding the courage to let go of the past—and finally start living.
