#CoverReveal: The Book Of George by Kate Greathead @lauraodbooks @AtlanticBooks #TheBookOfGeorge #KateGreathead #OutOct2024

I am so excited to be involved in the cover reveal for The Book Of George by Kate Greathead today.  It’s been a top secret mission and one I almost blew by including it in a book post stack a few weeks ago – luckily no one noticed 😅

This book sounds really good and I look forward to getting to know George when I read this book soon.

Huge thanks to Laura from @atlanticbooks for letting me be involved in this cover reveal.

Out 8th October 2024.

Book Synopsis:

From the author of the critically acclaimed Laura & Emma comes a The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. for our times: Kate Greathead’s razor-sharp but big-hearted excavation of millennial masculinity, The Book of George.

If you haven’t had the misfortune of dating a George, you know someone who has. He’s a young man brimming with potential but incapable of following through; sweet yet noncommittal to his long-suffering girlfriend; distant from but still reliant on his mother; funny one minute, sullenly brooding the next. Here, Kate Greathead paints one particular, unforgettable George in a series of droll and surprisingly poignant snapshots of his life over two decades.

And yet it’s hard not to root for George at least a little. Beneath his cynicism is a reservoir of fondness for his girlfriend, Jenny, and her valiant willingness to put up with him. Each demonstration of his flaws is paired with a self-eviscerating comment. No one is more disappointed in him than himself (except maybe Jenny and his mother). As hilarious as it is astute and singular as it is universal, The Book of George is a deft, unexpectedly moving portrait of millennial masculinity.
