Three smart phones. One smart kid. The mother of all fuck-ups. So goes an old strapline from Unbound describing this book. From the author of Londonstani, this books takes in themes including caring for a terminally ill parent, identity on and offline and a foot fetish. The main character’s split identity is what we wanted to portray, and what better way than making the book itself into a cracked smartphone screen. We see various parts of the same young man, Dillon, staring out at us.
