Summary: | An account of a dysfunctional love affair, narrated via SMS, email, Facebook and Google search results, act as a body of circumstantial evidence, betraying a 'real' intimacy behind a messy social media scandal that spilled into tabloid coverage. Told against a backdrop of a pre-Olympic London where east London's awful art parties, populated by the debased progeny of the rich and famous, do little to dispel 90s rave nostalgia, Iphgenia Baal's non-fiction novel balances at the intersection of death, mourning, and Facebook.
