Virginia Betts liked Jim Johns's review of Burnt Lungs and Bitter Sweets: "This is an excellent read. The characters pull you into their maelstrom and don’t let go! Friendship, hedonism, love, punk rock, and ageing. Fine ingredients for a fine story told very well indeed. Betts has written an absolute corker!"
