Diary Of An It Boy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781976321139)

Super social, in demand, and on all the right guest lists, the entire world seems to have fallen at Oli's feet. A member of an international jet-set scene, where lavish lunch dates blend into hedonistic nights behind the coveted velvet ropes of the world's most exclusive parties, Oli's overnight success has thrust him straight into the spotlight and sent his life into overdrive. However as the self-obsessed socialite ventures towards even more glamour and success, the newly-opened doors that have presented themselves in his life could spell disaster for a man with such an addictive personality. Losing nights bed-hopping between one disenfranchised guy or girl to the next, Oli becomes entirely dependent on cocaine, the vacuous party scene, and the affections of the one person who truly brings him joy, Marco. But with his lifestyle increasingly putting the two of them in dangerous situations, and the troop of people employed to pick up his tabs and clean up the escalating destruction he leaves in his wake gaining more attention, the new "It Boy" struggles with the idea that he might be losing himself, and that he might be taking too much comfort in the caricature he has become. Addicted to the high-octane party scene that's rife with designer labels, first-class travel and constant media coverage, Oli can't imagine going back to his cosy, inoffensive life comprised of drinking Pimm's and playing croquet on weekends. If he continues down the same self-destructive path he's been dead-set on following ever since his initial success though, he might find himself losing the luxurious lifestyle he's become so addicted to, with the sun-kissed streets and hazy neon signs of glitzy parties becoming nothing but a distant memory. The perils of fame are brilliantly and evocatively brought to life in the pages of Gavin Lambe-Murphy's new novel, Diary of an It Boy.
