My review -
Dan
is pushing forty when he’s made redundant from the advertising company where he
works as a copywriter. He uses his redundancy money to do a little travelling,
some drinking and a lot of hanging about on a certain internet forum. He is
increasingly jaded and would like a deeper relationship than the casual
encounters he’s having at the moment. Then, on a weekend trip, he believes he’s
caught a glimpse of an old flame – the man he blames for his inability to trust
and form deeper relationships.
This
is quite a laddish story of a gay man grabbing at relationships for the
physical side but really wanting a long-term partner. It’s cleverly written, witty,
sometimes slapstick funny, and very perceptive in its observations. I found it
an extremely enjoyable read indeed.
I
received a review copy of this book.
