About this Event

Deansgate is delighted to welcome G. Forsyth-Read, one half of the podcasting and presenting duo Ally & G, to celebrate the release of her debut novel: Texts We Never Sent.
This compelling coming of age story follows four friends and the secrets that risk bringing them closer together or tearing them apart. An ode to female friendship and girlhood, this is the perfect next read for fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Joined in conversation by her friend and co-host Ally Mackintosh, G will tell us all about her brilliant book and answer audience questions.
About Texts We Never Sent
Nel, Flo, Maggie and Nicole haven’t been friends for years. Caught in the limbo summer between college and uni, each of the girls are at a precipice, deciding the direction of the rest of their lives. That’s when the notifications come through. They'd forgotten all about the time-capsule text messages they sent each other two years ago. Messages full of confessions, feelings and secrets that force them back together again . . . before they break apart.
About the author
G. FORSYTH-READ is one half of Ally & G – the dynamic duo who host the beloved Leave a Message podcast and the social series Backseat Driver. Together, they’ve built a deeply engaged community known as ‘the Gallies’, where conversations about female friendships, coming of age, relationships and heartbreak are explored with a generous dose of humour and heart. Texts We Never Sent is G’s debut novel. G can be found on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube @AllyandG and @GForsythRead
