Deep dives

Pontins, vodka, and belly laughs

The memoir recounts a childhood memory of going to Pontins with her dad and his girlfriend, Tracy. Tracy had a big perm and used to spritz and scrunch her hair a lot. They were rationed to two biscuits a day, and if they took more, they got in deep trouble. Another childhood memory is getting her first taste of alcohol at a friend's house at 11 and going to her first nightclub at 13. Luz also shares the hilarious experience of briefly being a drug dealer after a sexual encounter with a man just out of prison. However, her career was short-lived as she accidentally wasted hundreds of pounds on what turned out to be fake cocaine.
