Shut Up You're Pretty is a short fiction collection that tells stories of a young woman coming of age in the 21st century in Scarborough, Ont. The disarming, punchy and observant stories follow her as she watches someone decide to shave her head in an abortion clinic waiting room, bonds with her mother over fish and contemplates her Congolese traditions at a wedding. Actor and rising star Kudakwashe Rutendo champions Shut Up You're Pretty by Téa Mutonji on Canada Reads 2024.
