Alexis Hall is one of my favourite authors so I will probably read anything he writes but this was the hardest of his books to read for me as someone with anxiety. I can't figure out if it was because the anxiety was so well done and just hit too close to home, or if it was so well done and I normally read fo escape from my own intrusive thoughts so it was like having a mirror shoved up in front of me. Either way it was not a relaxing read despite lots of comic relief thrown in.
