The second book from acclaimed writer and journalist Joel Golby

‘There’s no one funnier than Joel Golby’ — GREG JAMES

‘I love this book’ — DOLLY ALDERTON

How much of your life do you review? Books, TV, film, music – the reviewable things? Ever tried going a little further, reviewing the intangibles, the abstract, the ‘weird’: a houseplant; the sunlight on the pavement on a crisp spring day; being embarrassed; that strange wave you do at cars when they slow down at zebra crossings. A dead houseplant.

From almond croissants to the concept of life itself, Joel Golby embarks on a journey through modern living, leaving no stone unturned – no one thing unreviewed – to consider what it all really means; why we all care so much about opinions; and whether, deep down, it’s better to live a life that’s good rather than, well, five stars out of five.

About the Author

I am London-based, where I work as a staff writer for VICE, but I've also been published in all sorts of places: Guardian, Shortlist, Mr Hyde, FHM, BBC, Grazia and Heat, where I used to work. And, uh... other stuff about me. I am right-handed. More of a cat than a dog man, but I see merits in both. Um. I'm taller, than most people think. People are often surprised when they see my full height. And, uh... well, I've always wanted to write a book.
