Summary

The universe is a glitterball I hold in the palm of my hand. Once the golden boy of the English literary scene, now a clinically depressed writer of pulp crime fiction, Ash Winters has given up on love, hope, happiness, and & mdash; most of all & mdash; himself. He lives his life between the cycles of his illness, haunted by the ghosts of other people & rsquo;s expectations. Then a chance encounter at a stag party throws him into the arms of Essex boy Darian Taylor, an aspiring model who lives in a world of hair gel, fake tans, and fashion shows. By his own admission, Darian isn & rsquo;t the crispest lettuce in the fridge, but he cooks a mean cottage pie and makes Ash laugh, reminding him of what it & rsquo;s like to step beyond the boundaries of anxiety. But Ash has been living in his own shadow for so long that he can & rsquo;t see past the glitter to the light. Can a man who doesn & rsquo;t trust himself ever trust in happiness? And how can a man who doesn & rsquo;t believe in happiness ever fight for his own?
