I got my copy from the talented [livejournal.com profile] laney_cairo yesterday (thank you!) and read it last night, I was kinda mesmerised. It hits so many touch points of my life (admittedly from when I was about 18) that it felt incredibly real and my only objection is that there should have been more of it. Lori wants a gig as a drummer so she starts a band. Jude is gay, he can sing and looks hot and Luk can play but needs to grow up and figure out who he is. Bands tend to be like families and sometimes that can be enough, especially when you have sex, drugs and violence to survive. I also love the thread of Buddhism woven through the story. The cover reminds me of Tank Girl :)

I love the cover to The Tockleys.

This has superseded my previous favourite Laney novels.

Which on any given day was Fand, and occasionally Bad Case.
