Ein Wohlfühl-Roman zum Trend-Thema Nachhaltigkeit. Die Geschichte eines kleinen Londoner Charity-Shops, voller liebenswerter Figuren und lebenssprudelnder Geschichten über Freundschaft, Verlust und die Kunst, sich selbst treu zu bleiben. Warte nicht auf ein neues Leben – mach das Beste aus dem, das du schon hast. Gwendoline Grundle, liebenswert, aber sozial unbeholfen, hat ihr Leben vor die Wand gefahren. Also beschließt sie, gründlich aufzuräumen und sich von all ihren emotional aufgeladenen Dingen zu trennen. Welcher Ort wäre dafür besser geeignet als ein Charity-Shop? Hier meldet sich Gwen kurzerhand als freiwillige Mitarbeiterin. Sie trifft auf Menschen, die neben ihren abgeliebten Sachen auch ihre Geschichten mitbringen, von Hoffnung, Liebe und Verlust, eingeschrieben in Verlobungsringe, Gummistiefel und alte Scrabble-Spiele – denn sagen nicht die alltäglichsten Gegenstände am meisten über uns aus? Durch all die Geschichten lernt Gwen, die Dinge mit anderen Augen zu sehen – und auch sich selbst.

As featured in Elle magazine's Best Feminist Gift Books ‘Lauren Bravo is one of my very favourite writers.’ Dolly Alderton 'A joyous and energetic celebration of girlhood, friendship and pop culture. If you have ever sung into the lid of a can of Impulse body spray, you need to read this.' Daisy Buchanan The words 'girl power' conjure vivid memories of short skirts and platform boots. But it wasn't just about the look, it was about feminism. The Spice Girls gave a generation their first glimpse of the power of friendship, of staying true to yourself, of sheer bloody-mindedness. And the girl power generation went on to kick-start a new conversation around gender equality. We may have grown up asking What Would the Spice Girls Do?, but their particular brand of feminism is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago – we still need that fun and fearlessness, we still need accessible and all-embracing equality… we still need a zig-a-zig-ah. ‘The Spice Girls’ arrival on the pop scene marked the gateway to a modern form of feminism, all dressed up as a riotously good time.’ Stylist As featured on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 5Live and BBC Radio Sussex.
Probably Nothing is the answer to just how far sheer awkwardness can take someone. Peppered with Lauren Bravo’s irresistible wit it explores the relatable modern conditions of both health anxiety and people-pleasing.
