I read it after a disastrous 6 years in academia where I essentially had minimal contact with fiction. It slapped me round the face and reminded me that art could reach all those things I was interested in, and had been available to me the whole time. I felt like such a grateful idiot lol.

It changed my life.

Every single time : "those are hamas figures", "you are a propagandist for hamas", "hamas hamas hamas hamas". Just constant barefaced lying.

This cover is amazing. Who did it?

No, that's fair enough. Not suggesting you should haha.

The starting position that hetero relationships (and their depiction) all inevitably boil down to misogyny is so ignorant and incurious and... just bleak.

Sure, but Reform also keeps crowing about all these former Tories that they are poaching. That information might not be reaching the wider public but it's surely gotten to Reform's base, many of whom are invested in being outsiders/insurgents. That must be unsustainable surely?

Is there any evidence that Reform is being damaged by this? Surely much harder to market them as the radical change party when they consist of 90% former tories, incl cabinet ministers.

I'm 36 and I remember this. There was a time when the internet consisted of more than 10 websites and it felt genuinely exciting/interesting to use it. Seems like an alien concept now.

17 year old me resisted getting a facebook account until a friend nagged me into it. 17 year old me was right!

I had one a few years ago and it was shit. I wish you the best and I hope your recovery goes smoothly

This already exists. It's called In From The Side.

It's a mediocre-at-best romance. It completely lacks texture, chemistry, emotional heft.

Noooo :(

Jesus.

I mean tbh they just aren't very good

I looked up who he is and I'm sad now

I really like this book. That and Ego Homini Lupus are my favourites of yours :)

It's already arrived lol
