“As a woman you can be three things: demonised, victimised, or fetishised. And as a sex worker, I’m three for the price of one.”
18-year-old Erin is bisexual - she just doesn't know it yet. Freshly arrived at university and determined to embody the Cool Girl archetype, it's not long before a chance Tinder match reels this very modern ingenue into a world of BDSM and power-play that consumes and intrigues her as much as it stresses out her friends. And when that all falls apart, where could there possibly be left to rebound except the even murkier realm of sugar baby dating...?
Join Common Press as we host Chloe de Lullington for the London launch of this audacious, darkly comic and unashamedly bisexual coming-of-age novel from a bold new literary voice. Debut author Chloe will be in conversation with singer-songwriter Casual Wednesday to discuss class, creativity, and contemporary girlhood - plus readings, book signings, and a Q+A. It'll be good vibes! Come and join!
