Table of ContentsReviewsI've loved Ryan O'Connell's voice in every iteration, but his turn to fiction is my favorite Ryan yet: sharp, bawdy, yet still deeply touching. It's shockingly elegant, and elegantly shocking -- Lena Dunham, author of NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL A very funny novel about falling for a fantasy and finding love for one's own self . . . Ryan O'Connell explores the lessons that the vulnerable human body has to teach us, and he does so with humor, heart and heat -- Melissa Broder, author of THE PISCES Funny, horny, heatbreaking. If you liked Detransition Baby you might like this: all anarchic queerness and great jokes -- Caroline O'Donoghue, author of PROMISING YOUNG WOMEN The writing is dazzling, so funny and free, it's like making friends with someone new and exciting at a party and instantly becoming their best friend. Ceaselessly entertaining, no-filter comedy, scathing, sparkling and uplifting -- Justin Myers, author of THE LAST ROMEO With his singular voice and unforgettable wit, O'Connell movingly explores how our messiest moments can lead to radical self-acceptance. Elliott's journey may be his own, but what he discovers about the absurdity of the human condition is universal -- Steven Rowley, author of LILY AND THE OCTOPUS Filthy, funny and outrageous. This novel is full of painfully recognisable characters who are impossible not to fall for. I loved it -- Laura Kay, author of THE SPLIT A perfect summer beach read: very funny but also with important things to say about the intersections of disability and queer identity -- Andrew McMillan, author of PHYSICAL Just By Looking At Him is a revelation - Ryan manages to perfectly encapsulate the nuances of disability, while avoiding the air of self-pity that so often clouds disabled narratives crafted by able bodied people. The book is consistently hilarious and relatable. I'm obsessed! -- Ione Gamble, author of POOR LITTLE SICK GIRLS I'm breathless in admiration - it's super sharp, staggeringly funny, hot as hell and stealthily moving. It's going to be a mega-hit! -- Matt Cain, author of THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE Author InformationRyan O'Connell is the Emmy-nominated writer, producer and star of Netflix's critically acclaimed comedy series, Special.
