‘Girl Out of Water’ comes from Nat Luurtsema, who just so happens to be a BAFTA-nominated screenwriter, stand up comic and actress on top of a bloody brilliant author.
Her second book, ‘Girl Out of Water’ is about Lou Brown, one of the fastest swimmers in the county. Or so she thought. When she comes dead last in the Olympic time trials, Lou starts thinking it might be time to start again.
Finding a new thing turns out to be the biggest challenge Lou’s ever faced and opens up a whole new world of underwater somersaults, crazy talent shows, bitchy girls and a great big load of awkward boy chat.
This oh-so funny book isn’t just amazing inside, but it looks pretty awesome outside too. Check out the official UK cover now:
