Nina does not have a drinking problem. She likes a drink, sure. But what 17-year-old doesn’t?

Nina’s mum isn’t so sure. But she’s busy with her new husband and five year old Katie. And Nina’s almost an adult after all.

And if Nina sometimes wakes up with little memory of what happened the night before, then her friends are all too happy to fill in the blanks. Nina’s drunken exploits are the stuff of college legend.

But then one dark Sunday morning, even her friends can’t help piece together Saturday night. All Nina feels is a deep sense of shame, that something very bad has happened to her…

A dark, funny - sometimes shocking - coming of age novel from one of the UK’s leading comedians. NINA IS NOT O.K. will appeal to fans of Caitlin Moran and Lena Dunham.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Shappi Khorsandi is both funny and shocking, yet above all writes with warmth, giving Nina an intelligent voice. This girl could be you, or your daughter, or your friend, and I defy anyone not to love the endearing, messed-up Nina as she finds her way out of an alcohol-fuelled hell of her own making. dark and funny...brilliant It's absolutely bloody magnificent Breathtakingly honest and laugh-out-loud funny… perfectly captures the anxieties of youth Khorsandi pulls no punches in her first novel...Equal parts straight-talking, funny and worrying, this is a coming-of-age tale rebooted for the era of social media and slut-shaming.

“A brilliant, brutal roller-coaster!”

Well Nina is definitely NOT ok!
What a roller coaster of emotions in this book. I was by turns sad, horrified, scared and worried as Nina's life spirals out of control into addiction. Written with compassion,... More

Sometimes an author can get writing about troubled teens so wrong. For instance, characters are written to be way too angsty and antagonistic with explicit, and sometimes laughable sex scenes, and using a... More
