Synopsis

Sean thinks he’s in love with Rhiannon. He’s never been in love before, so he’s not sure.

She thinks he’s her new gay best friend. He’s not entirely sure he isn’t

Martin’s life has been turned upside down by Sean - the prodigal teenage son he hasn’t seen for nearly a decade. Rhiannon - a student working with him over the holidays - says she can help with that.

Rhiannon has her own agenda, and neither Sean or Martin will be happy with the results.

Straight Ish White Male is an exploration of what it means to be a man in the 21st Century seen from two very different perspectives – neatly hidden inside a funny story about bicycles, guitars and unrequited love.

PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE GAP YEARS

'It’s that diversity which makes it so enjoyable to read, it is so unpredictable and with Dave’s acerbic tongue it is gritty and honest, this book is everything and more a coming of age story should be' - Ali - The Dragon Slayer

'The writing sweeps you along through the chaos and is immensely entertaining. A quirky, absorbing read. This is another sharply satirical novel from this author about false expectations and the sub-optimal lot of humankind.' - Books Are Cool

'it’s oddly beautiful how Holwill portrays the family as they attempt to piece their lives back together; the novel is impeccably diverse and inclusive, while never once stepping into the realm of bigotry. If you like books that will make you feel something, and where you can relate to the characters, I highly recommend this book.' - Radzy Writes

'The author does a magnificent job of showing the pressures and problems that beset the ordinary people up and down the country in the modern age and every reader will find something to relate to in this story. It is unusual to see male relationships portrayed so honestly and accurately, and I felt really moved by it.' - A Little Book Problem

'All the characters were endearingly quirky train wrecks and profanely talented in the use of creative expletives. I am enamored with the talented scribbler Dave Holwill and unrepentantly covet his peculiar characters, clever wordplay, and highly original vulgarities. He has mad skills.' - Books and Bindings
