In this episode I am joined by the wonderful Kitty Winks and Anna Burtt to talk all about their new book The Little Book of Ick. Kitty Winks is one of Instagram's sassiest book bloggers, known for her brutally honest opinions and refusal to conform to the norm. Like many respectable Gen Zs, Kitty now works at a tech start-up after having previously worked as a bookseller and museum guide. Anna Burtt has worked in publishing for almost a decade and is currently Head of Events at a global writing consultancy. She is the host of The Brighton Book Club on Radio Reverb and has run a successful writing group for the last four years. she's recently finished her first novel, which is set in Yorkshire and explores grief, sexuality, intergenerational friendships and drag. We all know The Ick. You've been dating someone for a while and you notice something about them that turns your stomach. It might be something weird or unremarkable, it might even be something you do yourself. Whatever it is, once you've got the ick there's no going back from it and, for better or worse, it's onto the next swipe. The Little Book of Ick is a celebration of the dating phenomenon that plagues millions. Split into chapters that chart all the stages of finding love, this book is a collection of 500 hilarious icks: some you'll have already encountered, all ready for you to use when you need to get over someone. Up next we chat about our favourite Ick’s, hopefully providing reassurance that it’s fine to be fussy, and how leaning into the ick might even soothe your heartbreak one day.
