EAT MY HEART OUT - Zoe Pilger
The Bell Jar meets The Rachel Papers for Generation Y.

Reviews
Shades of Sheila Heti but British and much funnier, Bookseller
Like a foul-mouthed Nancy Mitford for the Gawker generation, Zoe Pilger brings a ruthlessly sharp eye to our muddled and indulgent times.Eat My Heart Outis viciously, violently funny, and marks the arrival of a fearsome new voice in British fiction., Sam Byers, author of' Idiopathy
'Eat My Heart Outis a romantic comedy without the romance; clever and biting, it is a satirical look at the narcissistic lives of twentysomethings in our post-post-feminist era', Felicity Wood, The Bookseller
