关于此电子书
Laurie Blount, the 'enfant terrible' of the West End, the voice of a generation, a shining star. Also: dead.
Very, very dead.
Reeling from being left behind, Laurie's husband Jo, best friend Vivi, and goddaughter Rosy must step out from grief's shadow and face life without him. But scattered chapters of Laurie's unpublished memoirs ensure that while he may be gone, he'll never leave them. Waspish, wicked, and witty, Laurie's confessions reveal another side to him nobody really knew, or would admit to knowing. But can the words of a dead man be trusted?
Laurie's grieving loved ones are about to discover that comedy and tragedy are the same mistakes, made under different lighting. If Jo, Vivi, and Rosy are ever to find peace in the future, they might need to confront Laurie's past.
PRAISE FOR JUSTIN MYERS
'Funny, kind, insightful book, about those who get left behind' Russell T Davies
'The Fake-Up is everything I want from a rom com. It's warm, funny and whip smart. I feel like I know all the characters, they just leap off the page. I couldn't put it down' Laura Kay, author of THE SPLIT
'Justin Myers has done it again - a brilliantly funny reimagining of the romcom, full of helter-skelter twists' Adam Kay, author of THIS IS GOING TO HURT
'Myers uses his razor keen eye for observation, dialogue and character to the wittiest effect' Evening Standard
