Your Own Kind of Girl

Clare Bowditch has always had a knack for telling stories. Through her music, this beloved Australian artist has touched many lives. But what of the stories she used to tell herself? That ‘real life’ only begins once you’re thin or beautiful, that good things only happen to other people.

Your Own Kind of Girl reveals a childhood punctuated by grief, anxiety and compulsion, and tells how these forces shaped Clare’s life. This is a heartbreaking, wise and at times playful memoir. A reminder that even on the darkest of nights, victory is closer than it seems.
