‘A bright young voice who writes with disarming humour and nerve.’ LUCIE ELVEN, AUTHOR OF THE WEAK SPOT

‘Both so much fun and utterly unhinged…I loved this stupid, young, lonely boy in a way that made me nostalgic for writers of the 90s and early noughties – smart people doing stupid things, not really caring until they have to.’ — CURTIS GARNER, AUTHOR OF ORANGE AND ISAAC

‘A gleeful riot of frustration, fevered love and the tender mess that is modern hunger. Smart, tricky and gorgeous.’ — BEN PESTER, AUTHOR OF THE EXPANSION PROJECT
