5.0

‘Elegant and controlled and wickedly funny.’
David Vann

‘Cory Taylor’s Me and Mr Booker has the heart of Lolita and the soul of Catcher In The Rye, this is one of the most assured debut novels I have ever read. These characters feel so real that they become almost family. Refreshing, surprising, sexy and ultimately very moving.’
Krissy Kneen

‘A vibrant, questioning and unpredictable read.’
West Australian

‘Cory Taylor’s characters are magnificently created.’
Australian

‘Me and Mr Booker is sharply observed and blackly comic, but it is also a tender depiction of love, sex, power and one girl’s heartbreaking step into adulthood.’
