About this listen

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

But behind the glossy veneer, he's been papering over cracks, and they're starting to show. He's creatively stifled, he's drinking a little too often and his cerebral palsy makes him feel like gay Shrek.

When River walks in, Elliott's life is turned upside down in the best way. River is funny, charming and makes him feel seen. But maybe that's part of the deal when you hire a sex worker.

Eliott is lost and he needs someone, anyone, to point him in the right direction. After all, it's 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.

"A very funny novel about falling for a fantasy and finding love for one's own self." (Melissa Broder, author of The Pisces)

"Funny, horny, heartbreaking." (Caroline O'Donoghue, author of Promising Young Women)

Does it need to be that explicit?

I enjoyed the book, it’s titillating and fun. But (and I’m ageing myself as I say this) I kinda think the sentiment of the story, at least the one outlined in the marketing copy for the book could be conveyed or kept without knowing how one of the guy’s butt hole tastes (just one example). The book maybe doesn’t really know what it is, is it a sex novel or is it a heart warming work of LGBT+ fiction that you can listen to round the pool on holiday?! Of course a book can be both but there’s maybe a line that borders on it being porn or something you’d be nervous for the family on the sun bed next to you to hear and this book probably crosses it.
