'A mother-daughter guide to navigating a teenage mental-health crisis' THE TIMES
'It made me cry, laugh and hug my daughter extra tightly' BRYONY GORDON
How can we communicate better across the generational divide?
When Rowan was sixteen, she experienced a mental-health breakdown. She and her mother, Christie, were barely speaking but they finally began to talk. Their conversations not only revealed the chasm between their generations, but also enabled Christie to really get to know her daughter – and in doing so, understand how she could help Rowan recover.
In an age of polarisation, this is a book about how a mother and daughter find humour in the things that divide them and with it a way to connect. Its bare honesty will have you laughing – and possibly crying – out loud as it shows that you are not alone.

'Incredibly brave, generous and important' CLOVER STROUD
I devoured this joint memoir… it is a warm and brave look at some of the mental health pressures our teenagers are dealing with -- Alice O'Keeffe * The Times *
[An] unflinching memoir * Observer *
Strikingly honest… an eye-opening account of the mental health crisis gripping young people * Daily Mail *
An insightful, if tough, read… This engaging book sheds light on the boggling number of mental health issues faced by today’s teenagers -- Katharine Spurrier and James Carey-Douglas * MAIL ON SUNDAY **SUMMER READS** *
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
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
Compassionate, honest, insightful and in places absolutely hilarious -- MARK HADDON
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
