Erotic, pulsing, confident debut set in urban Liverpool. Millie is an over-sexed student who’s best mate Jamie is about to marry a girl that Millie hates. Set against a nightlife of drugs and booze, Walsh’s novel proves to be less alienating than Irvine Welsh’s TRAINSPOTTING, but just as brutal. Shocking scenes give way to surprising sentimentality.
