THAT BOY OF YOURS WANTS LOOKING AT
“Simon is an incredible storyteller. He has the ability to make you feel as if you have travelled back in time and also, you are standing right beside him in the room.
His family members and friends burst out from the pages in hilarious yet poignant stories that help to ultimately shape Simon’s own development through the years.”
C.J. DeBarra, author of NeuroQueer: A Neurodivergent Guide to Love, Sex, and Everything in Between
“One hell of a painful story transcended with such fortitude and defiance.”
Tom Robinson, BBC broadcaster and composer of ‘Glad To Be Gay’.
“I was excited to read this second memoir. Descriptions that share the intensity of his emotions, this is a brilliant education into how singular and unavailable society can be. Heartfelt and painful to read, beautiful and well written.”
“It’s fabulous - extremely moving, funny, and a great trip down memory lane. I devoured it!”
Su Pollard, BBC actress and national treasure..
“Packed full of rich detail that will strike sparks of recognition…in its widest, most universal sense, this is a memoir about growing up as an outsider, learning to not only survive but eventually find the strength to flourish, and this is the book's undeniable power.”
Matt Bright, author: The Finish Line
