Clever debut novel of fashion and nightlife, readers are introduced to Mia, an expat newly moved to Milan. The drugs, nightclubs, and men blur together into a seemingly nonstop, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-style fever dream as intense as it is dripping with style.
Publishers Weekly
Tea Hacic is an MDMA-fueled Oscar Wilde with fake eyelashes and this book is a Fear and Loathing for the late Berlusconi-era; a deep walk of shame that tiptoes between a bewildering Bildungsroman and a fever dream of social climbing and social embarrassment. OLIVER KUPPER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF AUTRE MAGAZINE
"A recollection of youth as seen through the dichotomy of control vs desperation, Americana vs. Milanese, luxury vs poverty and uppers vs downers."
BJ PANDA BEAR AT FLAUNT MAGAZINE
"Tea recounts with brutal honesty the period in which Milan officially became the Italian city that everyone hates and envies."
VICE Italy
