Some Boys I Knew

What does it take for us to begin to heal? In the midst of recovering from crystal-meth addiction, facing infertility, battling chronic fatigue, surviving breast cancer, rebuilding a relationship with her narcissistic mother—Clea realises she has to take a break from men. There had been too many disasters beginning with the Adonis-like Old Etonian, Luke, who can’t stop cheating. What unites her with darkly handsome Tarquin, who follows Clea to the USA, only to rob her? Jordan, a dumpster-diving tweaker who deserts her for a porn star; Saint Peter who persuades her into rehab; sexually confused Brent; violent Conrad and self-obsessed Alfie? Why does she turn down decent Nat who is just too nice? Rich, powerful and authentic, Some Boys I Knew takes us on a raw, insightful journey to becoming the person Clea most needs: Herself. A vivid memoir from the writer of Tweaking the Dream.
