EMOTIONALLY WEIRD
BY KATE ATKINSON
343 PAGES
Imagine a mother-daughter afternoon tea session with a playful exchange of college stories. Fun? Add a dash of male praising and yes, bashing. Now, that’s quality girl talk! This comic narrative can easily remind you of Bridget Jones’ Diary…with more than just "men-alcohol-calorie" dilemma. Emotionally Weird has a heartfelt perspective on family, relationships, the eccentricity of people and just how special they actually are because of it.
