'Joan is an unforgettable anti-heroine. I don't think I'll ever stop thinking about her' Elizabeth Day

'So insanely good and true and twisted it'll make your teeth sweat' Olivia Wilde

'Like a series of grenades exploding' Marian Keyes

I drove myself out of New York City where a man shot himself in front of me. He was a gluttonous man and when his blood came out it looked like the blood of a pig.

That's a cruel thing to think, I know. He did it in a restaurant where I was having dinner with another man, another married man.

Do you see how this is going? But I wasn't always that way.

I am depraved. I hope you like me.
