The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King (2025)
Harry Trevaldwyn
"My favourite genre of book is 'Charming Lunatic Complains About Life,' and this is a wonderful entry. Funny and full of heart, Patch is up there with the great whingers Adrian Mole, Georgia Nicolson, and Bridget Jones."

You Are Here (2024)
David Nicholls
"You Are Here is everything I hope for from a David Nicholls novel: beautifully observed, very funny, a little heartbreaking, and at its core, full of hope about people and love."

Lazy City (2023)
Rachel Connolly
"Crisp, clear-eyed and witty writing. . . . Rachel Connolly's characters and their flawed, human attempts at redemption will stay with me for a long time."
