About this listen
A BBC 2 Between the Covers Book Club Pick
James is 34 and fed up. His six-year relationship with Adam has imploded, he hates his job making up celebrity gossip, and his best friend Bella has just announced she's moving to Russia.
Adrift and single in loved-up London, James needs to break out of his lonely, drunken comfort zone. Encouraged by Bella, he throws himself headlong into online dating, blogging each encounter anonymously as the mysterious Romeo.
After meeting a succession of hot/weird/gross men, James has fans and the validation he's always craved. But when his wild night with a closeted Olympian goes viral and sends his Twitter-fame through the roof, James realises maybe, in the search for happy-ever-after, some things are better left un-shared. Seriously, wherefore art thou Romeo....
From Justin Myers, author of sensational blog The Guyliner, this razor-sharp and cringingly candid account of one man's quest for 'The One' is as sad, fearless and funny as dating itself.

A fine read (listen)
The story is ok nothing too special. Not captivating but not boring at all. The performance of Joe Jameson really brought lives to the characters.

Excuse me while I devour all of this authors other work!
Loved this! Great writing, a style and setting I utterly love!
Such an original topic and it really created the whole feel and world around the main character. I loved that he was still figuring himself out in his 30s and living his own life amidst the judgement. Great side characters and the narration was perfect from one of my fave narrators, which I how I came across this book!

Fun story!
I love a dysfunctional main character. The story reminded me a lot of Alexis Hall’s contemporary fiction, but with its own twist. And I am looking forward to exploring more of the author’s writing.
As always, Joe Jameson’s narration was brilliant.
