Always Eat The Weird Stuff is a fearless debut by Bo Kitty — a genre-blurring work that moves between confessional autofiction, cultural memoir, and punk prose. 

Set against a backdrop of Melbourne’s gritty underground scenes, this book is a raw, sharply written meditation on grief, identity, transformation, and the strange rituals we use to find meaning. 

Bo navigates the cracks between chaos and clarity — recounting the highs and heartbreaks of a life lived at the fringes of the mainstream. She writes with the urgency of someone who has seen what lies beneath the surface and refuses to look away. 

These stories move through clubs, bedrooms, forests, festivals, family homes, and sacred inner spaces — all while asking the reader to confront what they avoid, and to find grace in the discarded and overlooked.

This is not a “clean” literary narrative. Always Eat The Weird Stuff does not wrap itself in neat arcs or typical redemption tropes. It is messy, nonlinear, and unapologetically alive — just like the world it reflects. It’s a book for anyone who has ever loved too hard, lost their way, stood at the edge, or cracked open instead of shutting down. 

Bo’s writing style is equal parts lyrical and blunt. Think punk rock meets prose poetry; think Joan Didion if she’d been raised on warehouse parties and riot grrl zines. She’s unafraid to expose personal failures, question cultural myths, or dig into uncomfortable truths. 

But beneath it all, there is a deep sense of care — for her people, for the broken parts of self, and for a culture in desperate need of re-enchantment. Since its independent release, Always Eat The Weird Stuff has resonated with readers around Australia, selling over 300 copies in presale alone through Bo’s dedicated social media following. 

The book launched at a packed event at Howler in Brunswick and continues to gain momentum through author talks, podcast appearances, community readings, and a strong grassroots network. It has been featured at Frankston City Library, selected by Dymocks Toorak's Book Club, and included in local and interstate literary events. 

More than just a book, Always Eat The Weird Stuff is a cultural offering — a call to stay awake, get uncomfortable, and make meaning from the mess. It's for people who’ve been told they’re too much, too weird, too loud, too emotional — and have decided to lean into it anyway. 

If you’ve ever danced through heartbreak, searched for sacredness in strange places, or tried to write yourself back into wholeness, this book will meet you there.
