A fast, fizzing cherry bomb of a debut... mining the darkest depths
of coercion, seduction and abuser dynamics... Like a sociopathic ex
who's stalking your Twitter, I'M A FAN will stick with you for a
very long time
*Observer*
Like Pop Rocks in your mouth. Burnt coffee on your tongue.
Frostbitten fingers. It's been a long while since my heart raced
over the prospect of turning a page in a book. Sheena Patel is an
evil genius of a writer
*CHLOE CALDWELL*
Pure fire from start to finish. Sheena Patel is the future
*Niven Govinden, author of Diary of a Film*
A brutal, brilliant debut... The desperate, cornered strength of
the narrative voice in I'M A FAN is like nothing else I've read
*Guardian*
Mesmerising, powerful, and finely observed
*Olivia Sudjic, author of Asylum Road*
Exhilarating, disturbing... Race, class and privilege are
mercilessly deconstructed
*Financial Times*
Digs its nails deep into the contradictions of power and status
with a brutally steady gaze. It's rare to find a book so
thrillingly unafraid to offend, so willing to forgo niceties, so
full of verve and bristling with insight
*Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like
Mine*

*ALEXANDRA KLEEMAN*
A blistering and dizzying journey into obsession, social media,
race and class... Mercilessly sharp
*Sophie Mackintosh*
An addictive, intensely interior debut. I blazed through this
book... You'll cringe, you'll laugh, you'll want to burn it all
down. A scathing ode to the psychos and shitheads
*Rachel Yoder*
