These characters have a few problems... Jan: Think about me, left here like a freak; a thing on show in a museum. Aaron: You've turned yourself into a corpse and me into a murderer. Jon: Do your legs hurt from running through my dreams? Holly: Last year Jodie Willis dropped the pillow she'd stashed over her stomach. Looked like she'd given birth to a bag of fluff.

Reviews
The short stories are funny, sad, weird and unfinished all at the same time.
I saw this book, looked at the blurb and took it.
There are little stories, like poems such as Mesmerised: 'I watched, mesmerised, as the tip of your tongue retreats into your mouth. Our lips move, and so do mine. I should resist, but the temptation is too great. I tear off my jacket, throw it to the ground, then... I steal your icecream.' It's just so fun and great.
This book is suitable for 8 year olds and over.
