Nothing But My Body by Tilly Lawless

Nothing But My Body is an eight-day journey through the mind of a young woman, a queer sex worker in Australia, as she navigates breakups and infatuation across just over a year.

Her loneliness is assuaged by her beloved chosen family-her friends-and by the beauty of the natural world.
