'Dating & Other Hobbies is a vicarious thrill-ride of a book, dragging you on an epically sexy, boozy good night out and not sparing your blushes, aches or throbbing head the morning after. A witty, gorgeous, genital-warts-and-all take on millennial dating culture that had me curling my toes for a number of reasons…'
- Kirstin Innes, author of Scabby Queen
Dating & Other Hobbies is a collection of female-centred poetry and short stories from spoken word artist Cat Hepburn. Screaming
with authenticity and using toe-curlingly relatable observations on
millennial culture, Cat’s unashamed writing treats the reader with
the honesty of a wine guzzling bestie on a night out, making it both
gut-wrenching and spit-your-tea-out funny.
Confessional, uncomfortable and hilarious all at once, from regrettable
one night stands, to ghosting to extramarital affairs- no stone is left
unturned. Shining a light on the nuances of human connection and
interaction in a world of digital dating and sexual exploration, Dating
& Other Hobbies provides a celebration of early adulthood, and all
the beautiful mess that comes with it.
'Dating & Other Hobbies dazzles with an agile wit, scorching honesty and a weather eye on the plight of society. It hits like an espresso martini served in a library by a doctor of philosophy dancing to Lady Gaga.'
