Critics Review

Ambitious, rambunctious and extremely accomplished … full of vibrant wise-cracking energy, can turn on a dime into a controlled lyricism befitting serious subjects such as PTSD, mental health and the nature of masculinity - SUNDAY TIMES

RESTLESS SOULS is a hilariously shambolic road trip, a moving, freaked out, at times bruisingly mordant examination of the purgatorial agonies of PTSD, and above all a bawdy, alive, profane panegyric to the indissoluble bonds of friendship - Colin Barrett, author of YOUNG SKINS, Winner of the Guardian First Book Award

At turns comedic, at turns literary, at turns thriller, at turns philosophical, RESTLESS SOULS never stops being a page-turner … A great debut

A terrific debut novel, bold and wise, each page lit with wit and with feeling.

- Jonathan Lee, author of HIGH DIVE
