About Skid Dogs:
“In this raw and vulnerable memoir, Emelia Symington-Fedy adopts her reader into a group of girls, vicious and protective as a pack of dogs, as they navigate a world where bruises are currency, gossip brings celebrity and every boy has the power to smear a girl’s radiance.”
—Susan Sandfort Blades, author of Fake it so Real
*Trigger warning: Skid Dogs includes strong language and descriptions of sex, sexual violence, death, and cancer.
