I lived in five different cities, spanning two continents, before leaving crowds and commuting behind, and settling somewhere that official statistics describe as “Very Remote Rural”.

I have worked in the public, private, and voluntary sectors, with roles ranging from number crunching and lecturing to mucking out cowsheds and toilet cleaning. I currently hold down a day job in local government and write in my spare time.

I have made up stories for as long as I can remember and have been writing them down for almost as long. I cut my creative writing teeth on fan fiction in the days of paper fanzines and, later, online. I had fun but eventually grew tired of playing in other people’s sandpits. It’s more fun creating sandpits of my own.

I can fully understand why this book has won as many awards as it has. It’s beautifully written and carefully constructed. The collapse of civilisation is also deeply unsettling; I'm grateful I didn't read this at the onset of Covid! There is much ab ...more

A very enjoyable story with a twisty plot, a range of suspects who are more nuanced than simply black-and-white goodies and baddies.

In addition, readers are reunited with characters from previous novels who now feel like comfortable friends. Having

I love the way Stephen fry narrates. He could read a grocery list or recite the periodic table and I’d listen with joy. His voice is a comfort blanket of warm erudition.

So, yeah. I was bound to like this book.

And like it I did. Some of the myths I

“But the conversation had shocked her into another realization; she wasn't just disinterested in sex. Her lack of attraction went further than that. She wasn't interested in flowers and chocolates, kissing and cuddling. She wanted friends, not romantic partners. All of that screamed aromanticism to her.
Aroace.”
Evelyn Fenn, Friends without Benefits

“Clare marvelled at the number of people adorned in flags and makeup, who were claiming the streets as their own. They sported coloured hair and T-shirts, braces, face paint, rainbow-coloured shoes, and glittered skin. People carried banners and bags. Clare swallowed; how many people tamped down their identities and personalities in their day-to-day lives, and how free must they feel today?”
Evelyn Fenn, Friends without Benefits

“She remembered thinking, surely this wasn't what kissing was supposed to be like! Wasn't she supposed to be lost in the moment, taken over by the sensations, wanting to give in to hot and sweaty impulses? Surely, she wasn't supposed to lie there, her eyes staring over his shoulder as his closed lips moved over hers, thinking, is this it?”
