The Last Romeo

by Justin Myers

This book from Justin Myers the author of the popular blog The Guyliner is fun and carries his candid, appealing and humourous writing style over into this wholly fictional account of the pursuit of love.

The story follows James, 34 his relationship has imploded, he hates his job, and his best friend is moving to Russia. The book charts his lonely drifting around loved-up London, he throws himself headlong into online dating, blogging each encounter anonymously as the mysterious Romeo.

After meeting a succession of hot, weird, gross men, James has fans and the validation he’s always craved. But when his sex tape goes viral James realises maybe, some things are better left un-shared.  This fun, cringey and contemporary take on dating, sex and random encounters is familiar to most of us and Myers captures the addictive, compulsive and deluded aspects of it as much as he shares the thrill and fun.

Out now and great fun
