Overview
'Oh, by the way, Gabe. I know what happened with Seamus! Everybody at Kiss does.' How did Mitchell know any details about my breakup? I felt my jaw tense. Why did everybody at the third most popular bar in The Village also know? Did Seamus tell them? My heart rate switched from a pulse to a vibration, and my limbs stiffened. Were they all talking about it and laughing at me? Did they, for some reason, now hate me? Gabriel is at rock bottom: a scandalous break-up with his wannabe poet ex-boyfriend, followed by a sudden sacking, and he’s spiralling. Thank God for his best friends, Tasha and Evie, who are committed to pulling him out of his depression hole and back into the world of work and dating. But suddenly there are new problems: How can he convince DiscreetHung from Grindr to go on a real-life date with him? Could the gorgeous man in the Post Office be The One? And why is Tasha’s boyfriend, Scott, trying to get between her and Gabe?

'This book honestly floored me. It felt like it had been written by one of my best friends. It was side-splittingly funny, made me cry, and was such an important foray into mental health and the importance of friendships, honesty, and living your life to the full while you can.'The Express 'A witty, heartfelt portrait of queer friendship, heartbreak and rebuilding in Manchester.' PinkNews 'Spiralling is a messy, moving, thoroughly modern dive into queer single life, and a love letter to the friendships that define your twenties. Reading it felt like hanging out at brunch with my besties and getting all the dirt from the night before.' PJ Ellis, author of We Could Be Heroes and Love & Other Scams 'A hilarious, down-to-earth, heartwarmingly honest celebration of queerness in the north: I’ll be recommending Spiralling to everyone I know!' Bonnie Woods, author of Kindling
Author Information
Cal Speet has spent the past few years working in environmental sustainability while nurturing his love of writing on the side. After a decade in Manchester city centre, he recently relocated to rural West Yorkshire-a move that traded skyscrapers for wild garlic patches, Canal Street for farmers' markets, and smoking cigarettes in the Northern Quarter for wandering through quaint woodlands... smoking cigarettes.
