My Biggest Lie cover

'Smart, zingy and extremely funny, this is a real treat' PAUL MURRAY

Liam has it all. A job he enjoys, a glamorous lifestyle and a girlfriend he is madly in love with. But after one night out he loses everything and finds himself on a plane to Buenos Aires. There he hopes to write the world's longest and truest love letter to the one person who still matters to him.

Smart, zingy and extremely funny, this is a real treat -- PAUL MURRAY, author of Skippy Dies
Captures the sun-soaked sexiness of the city . . . and the hazy drug that is desire better than anything I have read in years -- JENN ASHWORTH * * Guardian * *
I loved this book! It is wickedly funny and razor sharp but has a warmth and tenderness that is hard to resist -- CATHERINE O'FLYNN, author of What Was Lost
A scintillating, intelligent and uproariously funny trip into the excesses of storytelling * * Big Issue * *
It's rare to find writing so lucid and honest at once, and in a book where pages turn themselves. I grabbed this for its mad adventure, but came away with a gift for the heart -- DBC PIERRE, author of Vernon God Little
Brown's deliciously tricksy novel encourages its reader to pay attention to correspondences between art and life * * Guardian * *
Partly an extended love letter, My Biggest Lie is an attempt at sincere self-expression, and an examination of contemporary culture and the difficulties of communication in our technologically fraught era... Rewarding and ambitious * * Times Literary Supplement * *
A stunning meditation on truth and falsehood in a world in which it becomes ever harder to tell the two apart. Plus it's a real page-turner. Deeply sensual and obscenely funny -- GARY SCHTYNGART, author of Absurdistan
