THINK: cocktails, honest conversations, crafts and a lively room of brilliant Women talking books (and OVERSHARING, GEG)

Introducing: Our June Books of the Month !!!!!!!
Book 1:
Slags by Emma Jane Unsworth
'Compulsive and hilarious, like a brilliant gossip with your best friend. Emma Jane Unsworth is my favourite' Sara Pascoe
'Her best yet – funny, gritty, delightfully feral and, as ever, painfully truthful' DOLLY ALDERTON
‘An amazing writer’ MARGOT ROBBIE
Once a slag, always a slag?
It’s the 1990s. Sarah is 15, obsessed with boy bands, sex and getting drunk on Malibu. Most of all, she’s hung up on her teacher, Mr Keaveney.
Fast forward 26 years. Sarah is 41, the last of the party girls. But the mad nights out are losing their shine. And her teenage dreams are now distant, queasy memories.
There’s only one thing for it: an adventure. So, Sarah sets off with her sister Juliette on a whisky-fuelled campervan trip across Scotland.
The sisters have never been alike, but they know all the dark corners of each other’s history – and it’s time to dig up some demons, kicking and screaming.
Because the things that once defined us shouldn’t define us forever, should they?

Book 2:
Bad Friend by Tiffany Watt Smith
'A hymn to friendship . . . Will leave you moved, hopeful and inspired in equal measure.' DAISY HAY
'I absolutely loved this book.' KATHERINE ANGEL
'I urge you to read it.' SUZANNAH LIPSCOMB
'I'm grateful for Bad Friend.' AMY KEY
A rebellious new history of female friendship and timely reclamation of the 'bad friend'.
Move over idealised BFFs, glossy gal pals and indestructible work wives. Meet the bad friends. The dangerously romantic school girls of the 1900s. The office gossips of the 1930s. The mum cliques of the 1950s. The angry activists of the 1970s. The coven - women who choose to live together in old age - of the present day. These 'bad' friends broke the rules about femininity they didn't write. Their relationships were controlled, patrolled and judged too intimate, too consuming and in some cases, too powerful.
In this history of women's friendship, celebrated cultural historian Tiffany Watt Smith reckons with the ways we understand this complex and vital connection. She takes us from Japan to the Ivory Coast, The Mindy Project to Zadie Smith's Swing Time, from prisons to film sets to hospital wards and elder communities, untangling the assumptions about good and bad friends we live by. Weaving together history, interviews and memoir, Bad Friend offers what's long overdue: a more expansive, more rebellious vision of friendship fit for twenty-first-century life.
