LEVY, Honor
My First Book

Walking the wire between imagination and confession, My First Book marks the arrival of an electric new talent emerging from the chaos of coming of age in Generation Z. Inventive, ambitious, and frequently surreal, the stories of My First Book are a mirrorball onto the world as it is. Honor Levy illuminates what it is to be at once adorable, special, heavily medicated, consistently panicked, and completely sincere. Never far from a digital interface, her characters grapple with formative political, existential, and romantic experiences in a web-drenched society on the brink of collapse. To find and keep faith is the order of the day—but how? [publishers’ words]
