Hosted by Rachel Holmes, Southbank Centre Book Club meets to discuss Laura Dockrill's groundbreaking Ugly Shy Girl, a twisted tale about the struggle of growing up in a place where you don't belong, surrounded by people you hate - and how delicious getting your own back can be.

'The characters are funny, endearing and completely original. Laura has a wonderfully wild and exciting imagination…she defies boundaries.' Kate Nash
