I finally stopped reading after Alfie went to visit his mum, who was all, "I can't accept that you're gay because who's going to do the cooking?" and I was grinding my teeth so hard my jaw hurt. I mean, ffs, the dude's been living on his own for over a decade, who's been doing the cooking up until now, you stupid twat! And yeah, as a bullying victim myself, I found it hard to relate to Fen forgiving Alfie at all - 20 years on and I would still happily set my tormentors on fire tbh. But yes, the sex scene was totally hot; I think my fave part was how Alfie was saying things like, "uh okay, carry on" because "oh God fuck me harder" sounded like a scene from a cheap porno, and by the end it was exactly what he was screaming! It was fucking awesome.

I don't have the audiobook - I have an auditory processing disorder that pretty much renders those impossible for me - but I had no problems relating to Ash. I thought AH really approached his bi-polar incredibly well, which was important for me - one of the reasons I have so many tattoos is because I suffer from hypergraphia just like Ash, so it was so cool to have someone so much like me as an MC!
