Searing, poignant, insightful and achingly funny, Careless is an upmarket coming-of-age novel like no other, celebrating female friendship and the enduring hope to follow our dreams against all odds. Perfect for fans of Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams, Normal People by Sally Rooney and Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton.



Sometimes it's easy to fall between the cracks...



At 3.04 p.m. on a hot, sticky day in June, Bess finds out she's pregnant.

She could tell her social worker Henry, but he's useless.
She should tell her foster mother, Lisa, but she won't understand.
She really ought to tell Boy, but she hasn't spoken to him in weeks.
Bess knows more than anyone that love doesn't come without conditions.

But this isn't a love story...

 

Review

The literary equivalent of gold dust ― BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH

I am so proud of my super-talented former student, Kirsty Capes. I'm so impressed with how her writing has flourished with the cracking characters and energetic prose of her fantastic debut novel ― BERNARDINE EVARISTO

Moving and beautifully-written ― LIBBY PAGE

Vivid, bold and beautifully observed ― ABBIE GREAVES

A story of every day, that is never told ― ANSTEY HARRIS

Real, raw, heart-wrenching and so wonderfully written ― JESSICA RYN

Heroic and powerful, but also tender; this is such an important novel ― CHARLOTTE MENDELSON

So good I'm lying in a tepid bath because my 15 minutes reading turned into 45. What a voice! ― AMY BEASHEL

Elegant and empathic [...] a portrait of how it feels to be young, brazen and terrified ― JESSICA MOOR

I felt this book in my gut! It's funny, it's emotional, and at times definitely heartbreaking, but Bess is a hero you can believe in ― JENDELLA BENSON

It's not often that life in care is talked about, which is just one of the reasons we love this book ― COSMOPOLITAN

Careless stands out, a coming-of-age novel that draw's on the author's own experience of growing up in care ― DAILY MAIL

With a funny and flawed heroine, this is a book that deserves to be a huge hit ― STYLIST

Bess's narration is neither bitter nor self-pitying. Rather, her pragmatism, and humour, make her a compelling protagonist ― BBC
