Description

I find it funny that London still has street buskers. Like the band on the Titanic, buskers will play us straight through a mass extinction event.

If you liked SEVERANCE and SUCH A FUN AGE, you'll love BAD VIBES.

Hope isn't having fun coming of age during the uncoming of an age.

One, she's the only black girl at school. Two, her activist parents just got fired. And when not casually surviving the end of times, she's basically invisible next to her blindingly blonde frenemy.

A decade later, Hope is the uncredited workhorse behind the biggest fundraising charity on Earth. That is until she's chosen to lead a spiritual retreat for the elite - but as the weekend degenerates into ayahuasca-fuelled chaos, her big break might just end up breaking the system...

BAD VIBES is a hilarious debut novel about hope and the struggle of keeping it alive as the world crumbles into a steaming cesspool of white supremacy and single-use plastic.
