My Boyfriend is a Twat Virtual Book Tour, Day Five
Oh 'eck, I just made the mistake of visiting Troubled Diva and now I've got book tour envy and gone all tongue-tied!
How can I beat that fabulous game of Mr and Mrs? Well luckily, I don't have to. I only have to write a review. Phew. I am a bit jealous though. I wish I'd thought of something more imaginative than a review now. But I've been a bit under the weather this week and my hormones are making me grumpy and you wouldn't believe how good I'm getting at making excuses for not doing stuff...
Ahem. Zoe's book.
My Boyfriend is a Twat is the stupendously successful blog of Zoe McCarthy, also known as Zed. People keep giving her awards and stuff. And now The Friday Project have twisted her arm and talked her into turning it into a book.
The thing about Zoe is that she, like me, can be a bit... um... grumpy. Just a teensy bit. Sometimes. But her boyfriend is a twat, so she has good reason. And here is a whole book devoted to just exactly why, and how, and when, and precisely in what very detailed ways, her boyfriend is a twat. And he is. He does things like sawing his own leg off (well, near enough) and refusing to go to hospital. Or being less than supportive when Zoe is feeling a bit off. Or, and this surely has to be the most twattish thing of all... setting up a blog for his girlfriend with the title, "My Boyfriend is a Twat" and encouraging her to tell everyone what a great big bloody twat he is.
That's why it's all so appealing. Cos he obviously isn't a twat at all. But he is. But he isn't. And similarly Zoe is not really grumpy and mean to all her nearest and dearest. But she is. But she isn't. But she is, and anyway they deserve it.
Seriously though, this is why Zoe is such a lovable character, and why her blog keeps winning all those awards. She's got no front, she's not trying to impress, she's just getting on with her life and her family and writing about it. Naturally, and hilariously.
If you like the blog, you'll love the book. So buy it. That is all.
Oh no, hang on, maybe it isn't. I was going to share a couple of my favourite Twattisms with you. Cos they're funny. And they're about boobs.
Zed: "Oh Christ, I need a boob-lift."
The Twat: "Why don't you just get the rest of your body lowered?"
Zed: "Oh shit, I think I've put my bra on back-to-front."
The Twat: "That's alright, hon, just turn your tits around."
