Lauren Badillo Milici is out of f*cks and prayers, embracing being an unhinged and unlikeable female protagonist revealing a new vulnerability in this spiritual sequel to Sad Sexy Catholic.
Featuring magic, aliens, and unruly women, this book is about de-centering men, questioning God, and faking it until you make it in a patriarchal society.
An unreliable narrator laments the death of Marilyn Monroe and celebrates the life of Bonnie Lou Nettles. There are broken hearts, sunsets, and raves. President Jimmy Carter even makes a cameo appearance.
For the sad girls and women who have reached their breaking points, comes a collection that holds nothing back. A must-have poetic farce, Unlikeable Female Protagonist is a lilac-paged delight.
Praise for Sad Sexy Catholic
"Sad Sexy Catholic is the girl at the rock show, the one who exudes effortless cool in vintage leather and ripped tights. But when you turn to talk to her, she's gone. In this haunting collection, Lauren Badillo Milici offers anthems for the heartbreakers as well as the heartbroken. Step inside, lost girls. You’re home." —Rita Mookerjee, author of False Offering
"In Sad Sexy Catholic, Lauren Badillo Milici gives us a leading lady with a storyline of multiple twists, turns, and most importantly, reclamations. Milici's speaker is all diamond—they're the femme fatale who writes their own ending to the story—it’s everlasting, like a tattoo of lip prints." —Dorothy Chan, author of Attack of the Fifty-Foot Centerfold
