Mad Girl

I laughed a lot and indeed cried at “The Wrong Knickers”, Gordon's first book which documented her chaotic twenties, a real life “Bridget Jones”, if you will.

By talking about her own experiences with mental illness, Gordon has forged ground in increasingly normalising mental illness, like Matthew Haig and Ruby Wax have done before her.

Told in her delightfully madcap way, which brings on both laughter and tears in equal measure, “Mad Girl” could be a stand alone book, but is equally a fitting sequel to "The Wrong Knickers".
