A warts-and-all diary of a modern woman’s life, full of humour & honesty. A fast paced roller-coaster read.
This Way Out Please’ follows Sam, a heartbroken, out of work actress, working as a West End usher.
Sam has found herself in some compromising situations lately, with good reason; Daniel, the love of her life, has left her. Grief-stricken and with a flagging career, she is forced to question the direction of her life.
We first meet Sam with a hangover, after a tragic one night stand, late for work and trying not to vomit on the tube.
This and many other regretful tales are recorded here in Sam’s vibrant, perceptive and refreshingly candid journal, which captures the whirlwind of thoughts and feelings that follow a break up.
From recalling being a Brownie and the death of her hamster, to rants about periods and recounting the sublime to the abysmal of sexual encounters as if gossiping with a friend, Sam's voice is warm, witty and real.
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Will she ever win an Oscar? Will Daniel come back? Can pigeons blink?
