'Sharp and funny and humane ... Brydie skewers everyone equally, but always with empathy, warmth and wit.' Monica Heisey, author of Really Good, Actually
'A novel that really nails the chaos, panic and joy of being young' Daisy Buchanan, author of Insatiable
'Captures twentysomething chaos ... Very funny' THE TIMES
A funny and tender twenty-first century story of family, friendship, love - and how getting it wrong is sometimes the only way to get it right.
WHO IS ADA?
With Sadie she's an Aussie girl in London, a performer, a ball of creativity and a lover of food.
With Stuart she's funny and quirky, capable of finding romance in a dinner of crisps on a cold harbour and long train rides.
With her family she's the joker, the peacekeeper, the entertainer.
But she doesn't have to choose which version of herself to be... right?
Ada's answer to most questions is: yes. Every night is an opportunity to be thrilled and every morning a chance to recount it to her friends, so when she falls for Sadie and Stuart at the same time, she sees no reason not to pursue them both.
But as the realities of modern life begin to catch up with her, and everyone wants Ada to define herself in relation to them, she feels the weight of the questions: which version of yourself is most true? And do other people enhance your best self, or distort it?
Go Lightly is a tribute to party girls who'd rather enjoy the present than fear the future or regret the past, and a love letter to the community you find when you're far from home.
'Funny, perceptive and effortlessly engaging ... I loved this novel' Lily Lindon, author of Double Booked

"Captures twentysomething chaos. A sharp wit . . . often very funny." - The Times (London)
"Debut novelist Lee-Kennedy deftly presents Ada's misconceptions over how she is received in this throwback novel of female recklessness, like Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote or The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy, only now with lives further muddied by texting and social media. Ada is sometimes carefree, other times has a blustery optimism contrary to her circumstances; the book highlights the hilarity and melancholy of living life to the fullest and yet not feeling fulfilled." - Booklist
"Sharp, witty and . . . astute." - The Herald
"Brydie Lee-Kennedy's writing is sharp and funny and humane. A passionate chronicler of the ridiculous-in people, in society, in sex-Brydie skewers everyone equally, but always with empathy, warmth and wit." - Monica Heisey, bestselling author of Really Good, Actually
"Ada is a unique heroine, and she'll stay with me for a long time. It's vivid, raw, and hopeful-a novel that really nails the chaos, panic, and joy of being young and trying to find your way in love and in life." - Daisy Buchanan, author of Insatiable
"A truly fabulous bisexual book . . . It's so well written, and so smart, and tender and silly and made me laugh out loud." - Ella Risbridger, author of Midnight Chicken (& Other Recipes Worth Living For)
"Go Lightly is brimming with wit and wisdom. This novel is an ode to love in all its forms: sexual, platonic, familial, and above all self-love." - PJ Ellis, author of Love and Other Scams
"Packed with lovable characters, mouth-watering food and just the right amount of chaos, Go Lightly has everything I look for in a funny, romantic novel." - Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend
