LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/HEMINGWAY AWARD FOR BEST DEBUT NOVEL**

Recently dumped and stuck in a dead-end job, Vi's life is a lonely mess.

That is, until she stumbles across a mysterious sentient blob outside a drag club. She takes it home, feeding it a diet of cereal and reality TV. Soon Vi realises she can shape her gelatinous companion into the perfect man: attentive, outgoing, and with more than a passing resemblance to Ryan Gosling.

But is Bob the blob really the answer to all her problems, or just a catalyst for further disaster?

'Tender, compulsive reading'
