A Total Joy
Laura Kay, the author of The Split, has crafted a hilarious and unexpectedly moving tale that will captivate readers this summer. Richard Roper, the author of Something to Live For, has also delivered a perfect book for the season.

James Bailey, author of The Flip Side, has brilliantly written a novel that is both proper funny and poignant. Tom Ellen, author of All About Us, has presented a delightful and unique take on travel writing. Katy Wix, author of Delicacy, has set the stage in Europe, a continent overrun by tourism, where tapas-crawlers, graffiti tour guides, and anti-gentrification protestors collide.

Witness to this outlandish international spectacle is Mark, a comically self-conscious and often thoroughly disturbed individual. In his 30s and working as a copywriter for an online travel company despite never having personally ventured further than France, Mark is determined to make up for lost time by embarking on the kind of freewheeling summer expedition he has always dreamed of.

Even if his revered older cousin Paris is unable to join him on the trip, Mark is determined not to let that hold him back. He can always email the mysteriously absent Paris about the homes and experiences he has along the way, in intricate and often hilarious detail.

Described by The Times as one of the finest comic minds of Generation Y, award-winning comedian Liam Williams brings his inimitable mix of humor and pathos to his unforgettable debut novel.
