This is the story of the Berglunds, their son Joey, their daughter Jessica and their friend Richard Katz. It is about how we use and abuse our freedom; about the beginning and ending of love; teenage lust; the unexpectedness of adult life; why we compete with our friends; how we betray those closest to us; and why things almost never work out as they ‘should’. It is a story about the human heart, and what it leads us to do to ourselves and each other.
‘Deeper, funnier, sadder and truer than a work of fiction has any right to be’ Independent on Sunday
‘Both a page-turner and a work of art … an almost perfectly written novel’ Evening Standard
