ABOUT THE LAST ROMEO

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.

My Review:

To quote a line from Chapter 5:
“You’re just what we’ve been waiting for…”

Ain't that the truth!

I love the Guyliner so my expectations for Justin Myers' debut novel were high. And I was not disappointed. This Boy meets Boy(s) story is heart-warming, funny, real, raw, embarrassing (at times), deep felt, and uplifting.  I hope the book gets the audience it deserves. It’s a brilliant, universal take on modern romance and how to date on and off the internet. 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

PS - Although I feel ever so guilty for leaving my own best friend to deal with his relationship woes whilst I travel halfway around the world.

Many thanks to Little Brown Book and NetGalley for providing me a complimentary copy of The Last Romeo in exchange for my honest review.
