Nick Hornby believes bingeing shouldn't be limited to streaming content. He certainly delivers here. I couldn't put down his funny and achingly perceptive novel about the joys of working with smart, talented people you love, particularly when you're starting out in the Swinging Sixties. A young woman's road from the sticks to accidental but instant stardom at the BBC drives an often told story but this one also delineates the contrasting perspectives and lifestyles of two gay writers who adore her. For good measure Hornby also makes early fame every bit as fun and exciting as you expect it to be. Delightful.
