Descriere
No Worries If Not is a funny, relatable coming-of-age story, that explores Soph Galustian's experiences of poverty, queerness, mental health, grief and community. She recounts her life from childhood, to teens, into adulthood through a mixture of short stories, spoken word, illustrations, and space for the reader to reflect (or draw tits... whatever you prefer).
This book is for anyone who was raised struggling, anyone who wrestled with coming out, who accidentally killed their childhood pet, who has lost the person closest to them...
Filled with flashbacks to the 2000s/2010s, No Worries If Not is equally for the straights and the gays, the rich and disadvantaged. In this book Soph offers a space to reminisce and laugh at life's misfortunes.
A comedy writing star of the future, Soph Galustian's debut book No Worries if Not is a must read!
Recenzii
No Worries if Not is incredibly moving and real.
[Soph Galustian] expertly balances humour with tragedy, taking you through the ups and downs of life with a raw honesty that tugs at your heartstrings. It's not all prose either ... many poems are included, as are word-searches, skit-style excerpts, and - brilliantly - playlists. The annual playlists not only mark the emotional tone of each year in Galustian's life, but bring the reader right back to that year in their own lives. The various elements that make up this book balance each other perfectly, and not only make it a gripping read, but give more insight into Galustian's personality.I could not put this book down. (Seriously - it arrived in the post 24 hours ago and I'm already writing a review.) I laughed, I cried, I cheered, I commiserated. It's an incredibly powerful read, and (dare I say it?) one of the best memoirs I've ever read. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
