Why read it?

1 author picked Fingers Crossed as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Author and musician Miki Berenyi, from the 90s band Lush, pens a memoir that is one of the most open and honest Iā€™ve read. In addition, the book reads almost like a casual conversation with a friend over coffee ā€“ albeit a friend who has lived quite an interesting life. Trigger warning ā€“ there are some sensitive topics discussed here, including suicide, self-harm, and sexual abuse. As of this writing, the book is only available in the UK but itā€™s well worth your time to seek it out if you can.
