freak by Emilia di girolamo cover This fast paced contemporary tale of love, revenge and murder follows Jay on her travels from London to Naples, trawling through the seedy London underworld of car crime and drug abuse. Freaky is about being the daughter of an Italian immigrant but not being able to behave like a good Italian girl. Freaky is about pouring paint stripper on your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend's car and laughing about it with your mates. Freaky is about stealing cars to get somewhere fast, but finding the past thrown back in your face. Freaky is about doing too much coke on a Friday night and sleeping with strangers. Freaky is about the meaning of love when you're twenty-five and live alone in bed sit land.

'Young and feisty author Emilia di Girolamo has given Crouch End the shock treatment in her first novel, FREAKY. She peels back the middle-class veneer of Crouch End and lays bare a directory of murder, prostitution and customary drug use'
