Kathy Lette 
After the Blues [EPUB ebook] 
the witty and relatable novel from a million copy bestselling author

In the daring, dazzling and hilarious sequel to Kathy Lette’s best-selling debut, Puberty Blues, Debbie and her girlfriends reveal what women really talk about when men aren’t around…It’s the kaleidoscopic 1980s, a time of perms, shoulder pads, Blondie and Bowie, prawn cocktails, fondue parties and mistaking promiscuity for feminism and Debbie has run away to the inner-city world of punk rock, new mates and R-Rated adventures. Becoming a grown up is tricky especially when facing off against married men and misogynistic bosses, and Debbie realises that the only people she can rely on to her make sense of it all are her girlfriends. Regular girls’ nights out prove cheaper than therapy – when friends can strip off to their emotional underwear, in a psychological strip tease which reveals all. It’s the one night where all the truths come out .the good, bad and bawdy. With equal parts humour and pathos, Kathy Lette, one of the pioneering voices of contemporary feminism, in a re-write of her second novel GIRLS NIGHT OUT, exposes all the fun and foolish things girls do when scrabbling to find our high-heeled feet in the world.Praise for Kathy Lette: ‘Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better.’ DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, THE GUILTY FEMINIST’Deliciously rude and darkly funny, but with compassion and humanity at its heart. Read with relish.’ NICOLE KIDMAN’Kathy Lette can turn from raunchy farce to the most tender emotion in a trice.’ STEPHEN FRY
