Sex, drugs and gay bars: a twenty-first-century coming-of-age taleSo what if your parents hate each other and want you to have therapy? So what if your holier-than-thou sister (aka The Nun) and her posse have decided you're going to hell? So what if the school tyrant and his goons are hunting you down, or if your best friend has just outed you to a neo-Nazi? Jaz isn't planning to lose any sleep over it - at least until he meets the guy of his dreams at the local gay bar. Suddenly things are a lot more complicated.
'A coming-of-age tale that combines the coolness of Queer as Folk with the tenderness of Adrian Mole' Elle 'Will Davis is a witty writer who effortlessly conjures up the frenetic detail of Jaz's sixteen-year-old world' Independent on Sunday 'The dialogue fizzes with savvy one-liners ... Davis's observations of the dysfunctions of family and school are as sharp as his prose is fresh, and his debut is intriguing, touching and entertaining' Time Out 'Davis's narrative style makes this a stand-out read - it's a cross between Catherine Tate's Lauren and Vicky Pollard ... this is a journal for the Noughties' Gay Times
