Anyone can write a bestseller. Here's how.

GO GAY

It's been seven years since Mallory shot to fame as a literary sensation. But after years of struggling with writer's block, she's desperate to resurrect her career before it spirals into obscurity. She needs inspiration to strike – and fast.

GO SAD

Enter Leo – a young struggling addict sleeping under bridges and trading sex for survival. He's vulnerable. He's enigmatic. He's exactly what Mallory has been looking for.

GO DARK

Mallory needs Leo if she wants another bestseller. Authenticity sells, and there's nothing more authentic than real life. She's the perfect person to tell Leo's story. Gay, sad, dark – just what the world needs right now. But as secrets threaten to unravel more than just her career, Mallory must decide: just how far will she go to pen the perfect story?

Critics' reviews

'Savage and darkly hilarious. A pointed satire of publishing with flawed, fascinating characters.' (Juno Dawson, author of Wonderland)
'Absolutely unforgettable. A raw, visceral triumph that echoes modern classics like Trainspotting, Young Mungo and A Little Life, yet stands entirely on its own.' (John Marrs, bestselling author of The Good Samaritan)

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story is very well-written and gripping, the characters are believable and authentic. I also want to highlight the amazing speakers, I have never listen to a better speaker duo, 5/5 stars! I am slightly unsatisfied with the ending though, the fate of some central characters was just not addressed anymore.

Awesome story, awesome speakers
