I adored this book . . . It's about who you are with nobody to witness you, what it means to be human, and how to live (the answer is getting plastered in Harrod's, something we can all relate to), Brilliant. Creepy, witty, laugh-out-loud and shudder-inducing, A fresh, frank, funny and surprisingly uplifting book about the end of the world, Finished this last night and haven't stopped thinking about it since! Possibly my fave read of 2020 - sharp, funny, emotional and a refreshingly different take on a post-apocalyptic world, Really fun . . . like a dystopian Bridget Jones' Diary with echoes of Shaun of the Dead
