From the first sentence, you know you are reading something necessary, urgent, and totally original -- AFUA HIRSCH Brutally honest as well as poetic. I'm totally beguiled by it -- DOLLY ALDERTON * * Guardian * * Intimately life-affirming . . . tackles enormously complex questions. Essential reading for men of all ages -- CALEB FEMI Funny, shocking and downright fucked-up at times, it's like Jordan crawled into my brain and took notes. If you've ever had to overcome something in your life, this book is a must-read. Seriously, don't miss it! -- ASHLEY WALTERS Beautifully written, lyrical, visceral, staccato, cathartic. Feels like late night deep chats and confessions with an old friend. I loved it -- JESSIE MEI LI Jordan Stephens shares his life as a kaleidoscope adventure in full ADHD colour with immaculately told stories sharing the bad and the good. What a glorious book, and what a journey -- KAT BROWN A brutal tour de force. Jordan's writing fizzes with vitality and urgency, and I was hooked from page one. He writes so beautifully about what it is to struggle as a young man today, and how hard it can be to build yourself when you haven't been given the necessary tools. Yet this is a tale of hope and optimism, and a book that every man should read -- CHARLIE CONDOU Comforting in its steady honesty that sometimes you can't recognise your own patterns without genuine self-love and community. It's the book equivalent of ringing a friend -- TICE CIN
