Have you ever wished someone would just say what we're all thinking about the absurdities of modern life? Are you ready for a brutally honest look at the world we live in? Lena Ashwood's 'The Things I Shouldn't Say Out Loud' is the unfiltered truth bomb you've been waiting for.

In this collection of razor-sharp essays, Lena Ashwood takes aim at the sacred cows of contemporary society, from the cult of self-improvement to the performative nature of social media. With a voice that's equal parts witty and incisive, Ashwood explores the complexities of modern relationships, the pressure to constantly reinvent ourselves, and the often unacknowledged grief that comes with living in a rapidly changing world.

Drawing from her own experiences and keen observations, she offers a perspective that's refreshingly honest and unapologetically critical. Ashwood doesn't just point out what's wrong with society; she invites readers to question their own complicity in perpetuating harmful norms and expectations. This isn't a book that will coddle you with easy solutions. Instead, it's a call to embrace the messiness of life and find authenticity in a world that often demands conformity.

'The Things I Shouldn't Say Out Loud' isn't just a book; it's a permission slip to be your authentic self in a world that often demands conformity. Ashwood's essays will make you laugh, cringe, and ultimately feel less alone in your struggles with modern life. This is your chance to see the world through a lens of brutal honesty and unexpected humour.

Stop pretending and start living authentically - purchase 'The Things I Shouldn't Say Out Loud' today and embrace the power of unfiltered truth!
