Grandma's Jockstrap: Spilling the Tea 🍵 on *That* Winning Season 🏆

Helen Garner, darling, you've done it again! This isn't just a book about footy; it's a love letter to chosen family, to community, to the sheer, unadulterated drama of life – and honey, we're living! "The Season" gives us all the feels, from the nail-biting tension of the grand final to the quiet moments of connection between teammates. It's giving found family, it's giving heartwarming realness, it’s giving everything! We stan a queen who can capture the complexities of human experience with such wit and grace. This book is a must-read for anyone who's ever felt the thrill of belonging, the agony of defeat, or the pure, unbridled joy of a perfectly executed specky. Garner's prose is sharper than a stiletto heel on a freshly waxed floor, and her observations are as insightful as a RuPaul reading challenge critique. This book will have you cackling one minute and shedding a single, perfectly formed tear the next. She serves up piping hot tea on everything from the pressures of masculinity to the bittersweet beauty of fleeting moments. So grab your chosen family, pour a glass of something bubbly, and settle in for a truly unforgettable read. This is a literary slay, henny! Opal Essence (she/they), intersex poet: "This book had me gagged! The way Garner captures the human spirit is simply divine." Crystal Methyd (she/her), drag superstar: "This is the literary equivalent of a perfectly executed death drop - breathtaking and iconic!"
