Publisher's Summary

In the heart of Coketown, a small and struggling town in modern Northern England, our protagonist struggles to make sense of their reality. The town is reeling from the effects of pit closures and social deprivation, and the recent events of COVID and Brexit have only made matters worse. It is a place where hope is scarce, and the weight of the world seems to rest on the shoulders of its residents.

Relationships with friends and family are strained as the narrator becomes more isolated and paranoid. The toll on their mental health is palpable, as they struggle to maintain some semblance of control over their life. The narrative takes us on a journey through the darkest corners of the protagonist's mind, as they confront their demons head-on.

In conclusion, this novel is a harrowing exploration of mental illness, social media, and the human psyche. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of losing touch with reality in an increasingly digital world. The unreliable narrator adds an extra layer of intrigue to the story, leaving the listener unsure of what to believe. This is a novel that will stay with you long after you've finished the book.
