I loved this book, I am so grateful that I had a chance to read it before it is officially released! Definitely one to grab when it is published!

Omg this was INSANE. Funny, very dark and so so moving. The twist at the end is to die for - cannot WAIT to read everything else Josh Silver’s written. BRILLIANT!

Fruit Fly is a daring and deeply provocative novel that dives headfirst into the blurred lines between art, exploitation, and obsession. Josh Silver masterfully crafts a story that is as uncomfortable as it is compelling, following Mallory’s desperate hunt for inspiration and the fragile, haunting connection she forges with Leo. The writing is raw, unflinching, and layered with tension, forcing the reader to question not only the characters’ choices but also their own appetite for stories built on suffering. Both dark and thought-provoking, this is a book that lingers long after you close it.
