Book synopsis

Arriving in London, Hayleigh finds work as lap dancer 'Layla'. Determined to beat the sleaze and the system, her plan is to make enough money to prove to the world - and especially her mother and herself - that she is a fit parent. Layla survives on wit and skillful moves, confident of her looks and in her ability to exploit men before they can exploit her. Side-stepping the changing-room politics and staggering through boozy nights, she sweet talks her boss, dodges stalking clients and keeps the whole truth from her housemates. But over the course of a chaotic week, a series of shocking events force her to confront both the reality of her past mistakes and the danger of her present circumstances. Layla must make a life-changing decision and fight for the one thing she truly wants - a life with her baby son. This is a brilliant and moving novel, imaginatively powerful and authentically conceived. Thirty years after the resounding success of Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City, and written in a similarly intense second-person narrative, Layla speaks for a new generation.
