Exact Opposite of Okay - preorder offer

Hi there,

I'll be talking about The Exact Opposite of Okay again before its release. It's a funny, fierce, feminist novel by Laura Steven, that's out in March. There'll be a full review soon, and I'll be doing a write up on Laura's launch event at Waterstones Newcastle, where she'll be in conversation with Katherine Webber, author of Wing Jones.
