The funniest feminist book you'll read all year - a must-read for fans of Holly Smale, Derry Girls and Sex Education.
Flynn Meaney is the author of The Boy Recession and Bloodthirsty. She studied marketing and French at the University of Notre Dame, where she barely survived the terrifying array of priests and nuns, campus ghosts, and bone-crushing athletes who inspired Bad Habits. Since completing a very practical MFA in Poetry, she works for a French company and travels often between New York (when she's in the mood for bagels) and Paris (when she's in the mood for croissants).
Bad Habits is an absolute joy of a read, carefully balancing
comedy ("I'm a feminist! I place bets on women's basketball
games.") with a nuanced take on female friendships and being a
teenage girl judged unfavourably by nuns, priests, peers and the
world at large. Heart-warming and hilarious, this is a book you
need on your shelves in these bleak times. * Irish Times *
This snarky feminist treat is properly laugh-out-loud funny -- The
Bookseller
Funny, fierce and feminist, Bad Habits is full of big characters,
big heart, and even bigger laughs. Flynn Meaney has somehow packed
laughs into every line while still taking on everything from
priests to the patriarchy. I loved it -- Beth Garrod
