Summary

You were everything I ever wanted.

Johnny was my first. I was seventeen and I was only brave enough to talk to him after I'd had three vodkas. He was only brave enough to kiss me when no-one else was around.

Dave was different. We didn't go out or see friends. We were each other's world. Dave was all I needed. We were toxic before it became fashionable.

Kyle was my best friend. And that was the problem. Or at least that's what he said was the problem. Because friends can hook up but they can't date.

Adam was meant to be some harmless fun. I met him in a hotel and he was wearing an Adidas tracksuit. Casual but cute. He was anything but harmless.

And then I met You.
And things went from bad to worse.

Critic reviews

Bodies knocks you out with the lightest of touch. It presents humans as both blatantly simple and impossible complex. This is such a beautiful book. (Eithne Shortall, author of THE LODGERS)
'Promising Young Woman' by way of Ireland and a new literary voice that wields her pen like a scalpel . . . shocking, subversive and unforgettable. (Catherine Ryan Howard, author of 56 DAYS)

Darkly beautiful

Just a fascinating listen. Wonderfully written in an intense, poetic almost stream of consciousness. Excellent narration. Finished in pretty much one session. Just beautiful

Wonderfully dark

A really good listen. The protagonist brings you on a journey of self destruction in a brutally honest memoir, told in a dark and captivating way. I look forward to more from the author.
