This is Nick Hornby’s new book, Juliet, Naked. I read it extraordinarily quickly. The last time I had the feeling of wanting to devour one of his books was when I read High Fidelity long, long ago in London.
Certainly worth getting from your local library. His opinions on relationships, music and hero worship are unique and always welcome in my brain. And I just read he’s almost finished an album with Ben Folds. I wonder if he wrote all the lyrics and Ben did all the music? Must investigate.
