What a Girl Wants

Roxy Bourdillon

I am 13 years old and these are my secrets. 1. I have a crush on Jet from ITV gameshow Gladiators. So strong! So pretty! 2. I still play with Barbie dolls. It's mostly making them scissor. Or snog. Or lie on top of each other with feeling. 3. I just kissed my best friend. Spoiler alert: she's a girl.

From the suburbs of Leeds to the streets of Sydney, from the queer clubs of London to a quiet life by the sea, through love, family, friendship and heartache, join Roxy Bourdillon on a journey to work out exactly who she is.

What a Girl Wants is the perfect read for anyone who's searched for their place in the world, for anyone who's ever been catcalled, anyone who's despaired about their body, fallen in love, had their heart broken and found friends who can put it back together.

From overcoming shame and finding your tribe, to surviving the dating scene and learning to really express yourself, this is a book about joy, empowerment and freedom.

It's a laugh-out-loud treat of a read for fans of Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love and Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman - but with a glorious queer twist.
