(PS: Ben Brooks is nineteen. He wrote ''Grow Up'' at seventeen. I realise this is worth mentioning. But making a big point of it would be such a no-no with the pet adolescents in these 'ere parts I'm going with a footnote in order to avoid filial censure. Over and out).
My thanks to the good people at Canongate for sending the book. We also have a review of [[The Impossible Boy by Ben Brooks]].
[[Apples by Richard Milward]] treads a very similar path but takes a more artsy approach. Oliver, in [[Submarine by Joe Dunthorne]], reminded me very much of Jasper. And [[My Side Of The Story by Will Davis]] adds coming out as gay into the mix with even more eye-watering eye-watering moments.
