Produktbeschreibung

'A horny romp that makes you think, laugh, and feel. O'Connell is one of my favourite writers' MONICA HEISEY, author of Really Good, Actually

____________________

Eliott is a TV writer with a perfect-penised boyfriend. He's living the dream.

But behind the glossy veneer, Elliott's life is chaos. His boss is hateful, he's cheating on his boyfriend and his cerebral palsy makes him feel like gay Shrek. Dream? More like a nightmare.

When the face you show the world doesn't match reality, how do you know who you are? Elliott needs to find out, and quick, or it will be a long limp towards redemption.

A hilarious, sexy, ground-breaking debut novel about the intersection of queerness and disability, and discovering who you really are.

Rezensionen

"With his singular voice and unforgettable wit, O'Connell movingly explores how our messiest moments can lead to radical self-acceptance. Elliott's journey may be his own, but what he discovers about the absurdity of the human condition is universal." -Steven Rowley, author of The Guncle and Lily and The Octopus
