An incredibly visceral, raw wound of a book, perfectly detailing everyone's experience of obsessive, passionate love that ends badly.

'I loved that stupid girl so much', he says. If you can't identify with that statement on some level, you have no heart...

A great debut from a promising author, who has far surpassed expectations as an actor/writer/artist.

A quick read that's very easy to pick up again, even if it has the effect of giving you an ear to ear grin at the start and ending with you feeling like you've been gutted.

An incredible, emotional experience.
