Animals
Author(s): Emma Jane Unsworth
Review(s):
“Savagely funny, clever and wise. If it’s not an instant cult classic I’m leaving the cult.”
“A gloriously over-the-top account of female friendship.”
“I wish I had written this book . . . Withnail with girls.”
“Hilarious, moving and poetic.”
“Animals is a riot. A kind of drunker, swearier Girls. I loved it.”
“Drink, drugs, men, more drink, more drugs. That’s the heartbeat of this wham-bam, helter-skelter account of female friendship, featuring two women in their early thirties whose voracious appetite for wine makes Dionysus look like a lightweight.”
“A hilarious, madcap meditation on grown ups who are not quite ready to grow up. Her writing is as brilliantly inventive as her characters’ transgressions.”
“Brutally funny and heartfelt. I loved it.”
“A devilish tale, spun in angelic prose.”
“Stunningly brilliant.”

Laura and Tyler are two young women who have been tearing up the city streets for ten years, leaving a trail of angry drug dealers and spent men in their wake. Now Laura is engaged to be married and her teetotal classical pianist fiancé, Jim, is away overseas. Tyler wants to keep the party going, but Laura is torn between the constant temptations provided by her best friend and the promise of a calmer life with Jim on the horizon. As the wedding draws closer, the duo's limits are tested, along with their friendship.
Animals is hilarious, honest, raw and thoroughly moving. It is about deciding when it's time to grow up and recognizing what must be left behind if you do.
