Graffiti girls is an empowering read about women in their 40s who think their best days are behind them and realise that there’s a lot more in their lives still ahead. Best friends since school, the four women form a direct action group.to challenge the inequalities they see all around them.
I enjoyed reading it, there was an easy flow to the story telling and I enjoyed watching the women’s confidence and strength grow.

Was not quite I thought be based on the synopsis and the authors previous work but none the less this was a good read however it is not my usual type of book a bit too fluffy for my tastes which made the underlaying important messages get lost. I liked hearing about each if the characters individually though I felt they were really rather underdeveloped and lacked something. I enjoyed the setting having grown near up Hamilton but I felt the book over lacked proper Glasgow humour and dark wit. The ending was a real let down given the premise of the book tho it was a nice ending if you put aside the fact the full underlaying points I believe author wanted to get across . All in all despite its failing it was a quick fairly entertaining read but don’t expect a Ginger And Me it is very different.

A group of women who have been friends since school are feeling undervalued by society now that they've turned 40. I was excited to read this book as I loved Ginger and Me so much. It's brilliantly Scottish, witty and engaging. The women turn to expressing themselves through graffiti, causing some suspicion about who these new political activists are.
