Advance Praise

'Richy Craven has crafted an engaging story about the horrible, painful, wonderful business of living - and how refreshing to find a book that's so funny and utterly relatable while navigating some very serious topics. The writing sparkles with wit from line to line, with every page hiding either a belly laugh or a sudden sharp observation of human nature - and often both. A stylish debut - can't wait for more' - Alice Bell, author of Grave Expectations
