About this Item

Paperback. We talk about romance as life's greatest love stories, but sometimes the rarest thing we'll ever find is a soulmate in a friend.In the first week of their drama undergrad degree, Grace Rouvray and Katie Lees become best friends, bonding through a timeless tradition: bitching.Over the next 13 years, this lightning-in-a-bottle friendship becomes the most constant and important relationship in both their lives. Carrying them through miserable second jobs, breakups and the creation of a comedy duo, it survives long-distance years sustained by voice notes, and thrives when they live just one minute (and eleven seconds) apart in Sydney's Inner West. They become each other's rock, each other's person. Until the impossible happens, and Katie dies suddenly.What follows is an unravelling. Does Grace deserve to grieve Katie as deeply as her family? Can 'just a friend'be the most important person in your life? And how do you move forward when you've lost someone who wasostensibly your whole world?Hilarious, heartbreaking and deeply honest, Is It Too Early To Bitch? is a love letter to and memoir of the magicof a unique friendship, and a celebration of all friendship and its life-changing power.'Every woman who's ever had a best friend will want to call them while they read it.' - HOLLY WAINWRIGHT'Equal parts devastating, funny and frank, Is It Too Early To Bitch? is a meditation on love, guilt, self-acceptance and grief. I cried and I laughed and I gasped in recognition at Rouvray's ability to capture the messy, powerful essence of friendship, and how we can honour it once it's gone.' - CLARE STEPHENS Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
