It’s the 1990s. Sarah is 15, obsessed with sex, getting drunk on Malibu, and her teacher, Mr Keaveney.

Fast forward: Sarah is 41, the last of the party girls. But the mad nights out are losing their shine.

Craving adventure, she sets off with her sister Juliette on a whisky-fuelled campervan trip across Scotland.

They know all the dark corners of each other’s history – and it’s time to dig up some demons, kicking and screaming.

Because the things that once defined us shouldn’t define us forever… should they?

'Emma Jane Unsworth is one of the best writers to ever live – fact – and Slags is already an early contender for my book of the decade. This novel is somehow hilariously funny, while also being scathing and searingly honest about the world and compellingly readable. I read this in one go, unable to put it down, and I still now can't stop thinking about Sarah and Juliette. I love love loved it and will be telling everyone I know to read it – while also calling them slags' LUCY VINE
