No Worries If Not




No Worries If Not: A Funny(ish) Story of Growing Up Working Class and Queer
By Soph Galustian
Genre:-Non Fiction/Biography/memoir
Pages:-256
Publisher:-Radar/Octopus Books
Blurb:-No Worries If Not is a darkly comic, hugely relatable, unflinching account of the testing moments growing up as a young, queer, working class woman.
In the spirit of My Mad Fat Diary by Rae Earl and Slug by Hollie Mcnish, No Worries If Not is a relatable coming-of-age story, that explores Soph Galustian's experiences of poverty, queerness, mental health, 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.
 This book is for anyone who was raised struggling, anyone who wrestled with coming out, who accidentally killed their childhood pet, who has lost the person closest to them...
 Filled with flashbacks to the 2000s/2010s. No worries If Not is equally for the straights and the gays, the rich and disadvantaged. In this book Soph offers up her experiences and a space to reminisce and laugh at life's misfortunes.

My Review:- What can I say about a book that can have you crying one minute and laughing the next. There are so many emotions wrapped up, heartbreaking, sad, happy, funny Soph has put it how it was and is, and To me that's what has made it such a great read. Even tough Soph has been through so much, she has shown not to give up for what you believe in, you can do it if you try.  I read this book in one sitting. A true story of one strong person.
