Description
'Joan is an unforgettable anti-heroine. I don't think I'll ever stop thinking about her' ELIZABETH DAY
'So insanely good and true and twisted it'll make your teeth sweat' OLIVIA WILDE
'One of my favourite writers of all time' DUA LIPA
'Like a series of grenades exploding' MARIAN KEYES
I drove myself out of New York City where a man shot himself in front of me. He was a gluttonous man and when his blood came out it looked like the blood of a pig.
That's a cruel thing to think, I know. He did it in a restaurant where I was having dinner with another man, another married man.
Do you see how this is going? But I wasn't always that way.
I am depraved. I hope you like me.
