All Neon Like Love

A stylish and sensual psychological novel set in London and Paris, Dan Gennoe's hypnotic debut is a dark meditation on love and loss, and an accomplished first book from a distinctive new voice in literary fiction.

Every morning he wakes up alone, thinking of Sophie. Thinking he can still smell her perfume and feel her presence even though he knows it's been months since she stopped taking his calls. Every morning he wakes from a night spent with the memory of her touch and the warmth she brought him. Every morning, his first thought is of her. One morning he wakes to the realisation that to move on he must make amends for the way their affair ended, but as he tries to contact Sophie again he begins to realise just how little he really knew her.

A story of love and obsession and how easily one becomes the other, All Neon Like Love has all the hallmarks of a future cult classic.

Fiction is addled with good girls gone bad right now. Dan Gennoe takes the opposite approach in his dark, sensual and highly anticipated debut. His anti-hero is a man out of control as he pursues the woman he believes to be the love of his life. No good can come of it. --Grazia
