No Filters

No Filters takes on all those thorny subjects on which young, middle-aged and older people cannot always see eye to eye — race, sexuality, gender, class, politics, climate change… A much-needed conversation between generations – Suzanne O’Sullivan * The Times *[An] unflinching memoir * Observer *Strikingly honest… an eye-opening account of the mental health crisis gripping young people * Daily Mail *I loved this book and I know it will help many families during difficult times. No Filters is psychologically astute, totally honest, and beautifully written – JULIA SAMUELNo Filters is about what it means to be a teenage girl and what it means to parent them. It made me cry, laugh and hug my daughter extra tightly – BRYONY GORDONAn incredibly brave, generous and important book, which challenged my thinking about parenting, yet also consoled me and made me feel less alone. Parents everywhere will be pressing it into one another’s hands – CLOVER STROUDFull of compassion, honesty, insight and hope… This is a small book full of heart that will help parents and their teenagers understand the need for patience and empathy in a world that seems determined to divide us from each other, even from those we were born to love – DEREK OWUSUCompassionate, honest, insightful and in places absolutely hilarious – MARK HADDONThis book blew my mind and heart apart. No Filters is a generous, wild, necessary exploration of inter-generational tension, class, gender, race, mental health, neurodiversity and social media. It is also riotously, outrageously, funny. Beyond all of this, it is a love story, between Gen X and Gen Z, between mother and teenage child – EMMA JANE UNSWORTHThis is such an important book and will be a lifeline for other teenagers going through mental health challenges - and their parents – DR CAROLINE ELTON, author of Also Human
