'Emma Jane Unsworth is one of the best writers to ever live - fact - and Slags is already an early contender for my book of the decade. This novel is somehow hilariously funny, while also being scathing and searingly honest about the world and compellingly readable. I read this in one go, unable to put it down, and I still now can't stop thinking about Sarah and Juliette. I love love loved it and will be telling everyone I know to read it - while also calling them slags' LUCY VINE
