In my defence I have no defence. Sinead Stubbins. 2021.

Sinead has always known that there was a better version of herself lying just outside of her grasp. That if she listened to the right song or won the right (any) award or knew about whisky or followed the right Instagram psychologist or drank kombucha, ever, or enacted the correct seventy-step Korean skincare regime, she would become her ‘best self’.

Wild, funny and wickedly relatable, In My Defence, I Have No Defence raises the white flag on trying to live up to those impossible standards. It is one woman’s reckoning with her complete inability to self-improve and a hilarious reprieve for anyone who has ever struggled to be better.
