No Filters

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

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

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

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

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

Full of compassion, honesty, insight and hope... This is a small book full of heart that will help parents and their teenagers understand the need for patience and empathy in a world that seems determined to divide us from each other, even from those we were born to love

DEREK OWUSU

This is such an important book and will be a lifeline for other teenagers going through mental health challenges - and their parents

DR CAROLINE ELTON, author of Also Human

No Filters takes on all those thorny subjects on which young, middle-aged and older people cannot always see eye to eye — race, sexuality, gender, class, politics, climate change… A much-needed conversation between generations

Suzanne O'Sullivan, The Times

[An] unflinching memoir

Observer

What a beautiful, poignant, astute and ultimately transformative book this is, brimming with wit and vivacity. No Filters is absolutely invaluable reading for anyone trying to understand the myriad challenges of being a teenager today. Christie and Rowan’s extraordinary candour made me sob, gasp and at times roar with laughter. Truly a love story for our age - and, whoa, how this mother and daughter can write. I wish I could prescribe it for every parent I know

RACHEL CLARKE

Compassionate, honest, insightful and in places absolutely hilarious

MARK HADDON

Strikingly honest… an eye-opening account of the mental health crisis gripping young people
