One of the easiest books to give a 5 star rating to.
I wasn't familiar with the work of Lally Katz before reading this (clearly I was living underground), but I certainly wasn't going to go past a book with this title. And wow did it live up to its name. I've never known a vagina to be cursed before but with my anxiety, I'll now be worried about my own forever more.
As noted above, I requested this book purely due to the title. I sat down with it and thought "I'll just read the first few pages, see what it's like". Well, cue a couple of hours later and it would seem I have read the whole book in one sitting. I just couldn't stop! This was like sitting down with an old friend for a natter. It's in parts sad but also joyous and just so damn funny and I'm pretty sure Lally and I are now best friends (albeit rather one-sided).
This book is for the Dolly Alderton fans, but it's also a book for just about anyone who wants to read an entertaining, brutally honest story of love, loss and adventure.
Really wished this was published in December so I give it to everyone I know for Christmas.

The title is sure to stop you in your tracks and so it should. Lally Katz is a fabulous playwright and her autobiographical book is equally good. Her style is arrestingly honest and by page two we’re swept along with her psychic advice, her love life and her wonderful family and friends. Switching between Australia and the USA and a few other countries were on the journey. Being half Jewish ( the wrong half) gives us a glimpse of into a life I wouldn’t necessarily believed possible until Lally laid it bare. We’re a best friend as well as an echo of the wonderful neighbour, Anna from Neighbourhood Watch. It’s so relatable in some aspects and so totally out of the world in others. A great combination. The perfect summer read. Thanks to @netgalley for the advance copy to read and to @Allenandunwin for the patience of publishers who waited eleven years for the book to come into its time.
