Description

Bad Habit is a powerful coming-of-age novel that follows a young trans woman as she navigates the challenges of growing up in 1980s Madrid. Beautifully written and told in an irresistible voice, this book is a moving exploration of identity, community, and the search for a life that truly feels like home.

As she finds her place in the city, she is confronted by an antagonism she does not yet know how to counter, and each decision can have the highest of stakes. With its thrilling and often frightening portrayal of life on the margins, Bad Habit is an unforgettable story of self-realisation that speaks to the outsider in all of us.

Translated by Mara Faye Lethem, this debut novel has been hailed as a revelation by critics and readers alike, with praise for its elegant storytelling, camp humour, pathos, and the spirit of resilience. a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a story that will leave them feeling seen and understood.
