Eliott is a TV writer with a perfect-penised boyfriend. He’s living the dream.

But behind the glossy veneer, Elliott’s life is chaos. His boss is hateful, he’s cheating on his boyfriend and his cerebral palsy makes him feel like gay Shrek. Dream? More like a nightmare.

When the face you show the world doesn’t match reality, how do you know who you are? Elliott needs to find out, and quick, or it will be a long limp towards redemption.

A hilarious, sexy, ground-breaking debut novel about the intersection of queerness and disability, and discovering who you really are.
