I loved this book and I know it will help many families during difficult times. No Filters is psychologically astute, totally honest, and beautifully written -- JULIA SAMUEL No Filters is about what it means to be a teenage girl and what it means to parent them. It made me cry, laugh and hug my daughter extra tightly -- BRYONY GORDON An incredibly brave, generous and important book, which challenged my thinking about parenting, yet also consoled me and made me feel less alone. Parents everywhere will be pressing it into one another’s hands -- CLOVER STROUD This book blew my mind and heart apart. No Filters is a generous, wild, necessary exploration of inter-generational tension, class, gender, race, mental health, neurodiversity and social media. It is also riotously, outrageously, funny. Beyond all of this, it is a love story, between Gen X and Gen Z, between mother and teenage child -- EMMA JANE UNSWORTH A raw and unique book on mental health which gives the viewpoint of both parties involved. What is particularly helpful is understanding the cross generational experience and how today's modern life, including social media, affects both teenagers - and their parents -- LORRAINE CANDY
