Channeling some serious Underground Man energy and, in my view, a fair amount of Bret Easton Ellis. But there's also a pure heart at the center of this story, some sort of hope or care underneath the vitriol and the numbness. I will definitely be reading this book from Udith.
It's got some Trainspotting vibes (although Irvine Welsh turned out to be a bit woke), it's got Celinean ellipses. I don't know why anyone would read Worst Boyfriend Ever when this is available.
I would just have more ( which word fits?) respect for the important contribution to literature ( first Samuel Beckett publisher, muse to Man Ray, Breton and above all Louis Aragon and living in Harlem with her husband 1930’s and putting the first Black artists and writers anthology (NEGRO)

Well done. Believable slice of life. Captures the moment, both culturally and as a phase of young adult life.
looking forward to reading the entire novel later this year.

Yikes this title... Huge turn-off.
Yes, true, but maybe also intended as a flashing red warning. Read at your own risk.

you have earned yourself a customer, sir

Udith's essays are more interesting than his fiction.
