Sharp, twisted confident writing – hard to believe the author is only 19. If you are literary minded and a fan of Skins and the In-betweeners you will love this and be calling the books narrator, Jasper, the new Holden Caulfield. Hilarious and heartbreaking by turns, GROW UP is the ultimate twenty-first-century coming-of-age novel.
It paints a vivid portrait of the pills and thrills and bellyaches of growing up today. It is the story of one young man transformed. If you are a fan of Glee or 90210 maybe you should give it a miss.
