Tom Cartwright is a ghost-writer: eking out a living in Edinburgh, he is always ready to assume the persona of a struggling working mother-of-four, or a round-the-world-yachtsman, or a 'sensual' aromatherapist - indeed anyone his agent asks him to be, so long as it brings in money. When he is offered the highly lucrative task of ghosting the autobiography of a glamorous young soap star Georgina Nye, he and his girlfriend Sara are thrilled: Sara is a big fan of George's and Tom will finally be able to afford some new carpets for their house.

But things soon go awry when Tom finds himself drawn to George by forces outside his control (even though they are inside his own body). Does his five-year relationship with Sara stand a chance in the face of this explosion of chemistry? Are he and George bound by emotional attraction? Or is it simply the result of vasopressin being released by his pituitary gland?

Is this love of just oxytocin? Most importantly for us all - is there a difference?

In all honesty if I'd just read the back of this book I wouldn't have bought it. However, since discovering Mil Millington via Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About, and later through his newsletter and websites, I couldn't possibly not buy it. I love his sense of humour, and his use of language. More though, I really like how he writes dialogue and character interaction, and therefore can't wait to jump headlong into his second book.
