Sinopsis

A disconcerting novel of first loves and dangerous relationships perfect for fans of Nell Zink, Olivia Laing and Sally Rooney.


WINNER OF THE ADAM FOUNDATION PRIZE


'This wonderful debut is undeniably relatable to all . . . An insightful novel' WOMAN


'Darkly funny and frequently uncomfortable' The i 


Erica is 17 and in her last year of high school. Donny is 42 and everywhere - in her yoga class, at German Club, in her parents' spare room . . .


The story of a young woman who finds herself subject to the gravitational field of a charismatic man, The Boyfriend is a cautionary tale about blindly accepting traditional 'love' narratives.


This clear-eyed, dismaying and often hilarious examination of sexual desire, trauma and growth is a remarkable debut and a perfect novel for our time.
