Book Of The Month
Carolynn's Book Of The Month.
We love a debut author and we love indie publishers.
This one is special for us, as this amazing book comes from one of our favourite indie authors and a Brighton based indie publisher.
Louisa’s edgy book is an incredible roller coaster ride, following one man in one weekend of his life. A weekend that could change everything.
Louisa’s writing holds no punches and draws you into vibrant and edgey characters in the inner city.

Why can't Black people find a seat at the table?
If the same man sits down takes the menu from the woman without asking and tells her he will be ordering for her, she would be peeved.
