'Sex and the City meets Bridget Jones's Diary in this sharp and pacey queer rom-com gone wrong for the digital age' - Attitude
James is 34 and fed up. His six-year relationship with Adam has imploded, he hates his job making up celebrity gossip, and his best friend Bella has just announced she's moving to Russia.
Adrift and single in loved-up London, James needs to break out of his lonely, drunken comfort zone. Encouraged by Bella, 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 wild night with a closeted Olympian goes viral and sends his Twitter-fame through the roof, James realises maybe, in the search for happy-ever-after, some things are better left un-shared. Seriously, wherefore art thou Romeo . . .
From Justin Myers, author of sensational blog The Guyliner, this razor-sharp and cringingly candid account of one man's quest for The One is as sad, fearless and funny as dating itself.

James becomes single at 34, and starts a dating blog. But when it becomes successful, his online persona begins to take over...This is lovely! Funny, smart, tart, full of great characters. It achieves something very clever: it looks at men with a fierce, critical stare, and yet it's never snide or critical or unfair. Written with a big, beating heart. - Russell T. Davies

“Funny feel good frolucs”
I'd never heard of the author before but I wasn't surprised to learn that he actually writes a blog about his own life. The level of realism makes it clear that this book has an autobiographical touch.
