Kiley’s debut novel Such A Fun Age was an instant hit making the New York Times Best Seller list, and probably more excitingly, Reece Witherspoon’s book club reading list.

Come and Get It is out now in hardback and follows the lives of three women on a college campus and discusses topics such as class, race, age and money.
Her writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Playboy, The Guardian, and others. In addition to writing Kiley teaches at the University of Michigan.

Award-winning writer, poet and performer Hollie McNish chats about becoming a feminist, swearing in french and why she’s bored of taboos.
Hollie is the author of five poetry collections, a new adaptation of the Greek tragedy Antigone, and the co-writer of Offside, a play about the history of women’s football.

Holly’s raw voice, which won her the Ted Hughes award for new work in poetry in 2016, often tackles subjects and language considered taboo, and she’s never shied away from topics it’s not easy to write - or talk about.
Her last collection, Slug (and other things I’ve been told to hate) explored subjects women are conditioned to feel shame about - from periods to masturbation, and her new book, Lobster (and other things I’m Learning to Love), shows how we can change that narrative.
Hollie’s book choices are:
** Alfie Gets in First by Shirley Hughes
** The Madwomen's Ball by Victoria Mas

** Say Hello! by Rachel Isadora
** The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
