Don’t sneak to that local nightclub next Friday – your Dad will find out and you will be grounded for months.
Notes To Self by Emilie Pine, a book that gets to the core of what it’s like to be a woman. The Complete Works of Shakespeareshould keep me and my imagination occupied. My last choice would be the most used: ‘How To Survive on a Desert Island for Dummies.’
