Summary

No Worries If Not is a funny, relatable coming-of-age story, that explores comedian, Soph Galustian's, experiences of poverty, queerness, love, 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, who wrestled with coming out, who accidentally killed their childhood pet fish, who as fallen madly in love or who has lost the person closest to them...

Filled with flashbacks to the 2000s/2010s, Cheryl Cole/Girls Aloud fandom and a love story for the ages, 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.
