Summer in Paris. Leah, bored of tedious dead-end jobs, is intrigued to spot a job advert posted by the famous author Michael Young: 'Writer Seeks Assistant'.

After an unconventional interview, Michael invites Leah to spend summer in the south of France with his family. But as she begins her work transcribing his diaries of his debauched youth in 1960s Soho, the lines of past and present, truth and deceit, begin to blur, and Leah has to question what it is that Michael really sees in her.

A novel that challenges us to both question what we see, and what others see in us.

'A devastatingly compelling new voice in literary fiction' Louise O'Neill

'Devastatingly witty, compulsively readable . . . like Sally Rooney meeting Martin Amis in Paris' Francine Toon, author of Pine

    Young woman becomes personal assistant to aging writer and reads his diaries.

    Michael is a writer, Lia is a young woman who seeks her place in the world. His only love (or possession) was Astrid. Lia reads how he met her and how their relationship developed. Michael is definitely unreliable narrator, in his own POV he describes how he used people around him for his writings. I’d say it turned better than I expected and Michael was worse. I believe someone should’ve exposed him. (RIP Iris)
