Crazy For You

Loads of fun
This book is great fun. Clooney the hero is a gay, vain, but knowingly self-mocking actor/writer who ends up being stalked by Vonnie, a crazy lady he meets at a party. I found both characters hugely entertaining. Clooney is sharp and witty, but also warm, whereas Vonnie is amusing simply because she is so selfish and rude to everyone, yet always believes she’s the one who’s hard done by. A fab read if you’re looking for entertainment, escapism and genuinely funny characters.

Original and Entertaining!
This quirky novel is really original in both style and plot. It's very funny with plenty of laugh out loud moments - these are interspersed with passages of quite beautiful prose, which evoked a mood that anyone who grew up in Ireland will recognise. The story however is totally unique - it's a madcap thriller/comedy, and the antics of Clooney and Vonnie really take off reality TV and celebrity culture brilliantly. It also boasts the ultimate cliffhanger ending! I enjoyed this entertaining read from a highly original homegrown author. I look forward to reading more from him.

Hilarious
Unputdownable. If your looking for a serious laugh then this is it. I've tried 7 books. Yes 7. Not one of them could hold my attention during these weird times. Book 8, which was Crazy for you, had me gripped from the beginning. Heart warming characters that show amazing bonds. A love story that could only be described as Disney. All was amazing..... until SHE got her wires crossed and thought friendship meant control. I was laughing and screaming all at the same time. Such lovable characters. Such hateful characters. All intertwined. Superbly written. A delightful story with great wit. A must read.

Fab summer read
Perfect to read in the sun. Follow the adventures of new friendships and to make you realise others can read a bit too deeply into a simple kind word or two :)

A clever and funny read
From the very first page I was addicted and knew that I wanted to read more. From start to finish it was pure entertainment, especially with all the crazy goings-on from all the wonderful, unforgettable characters!It is a very witty, warm and funny read and I can imagine it being turned into a movie at some point.Clooney promises Vonnie that they will be friends for life - which I’m pretty sure he comes to regret. Vonnie very quickly becomes obsessed with poor kind-hearted Clooney and her misplaced crush soon becomes much more sinister, which also affects Clooney’s career.A very clever, funny read that will definitely take your mind off real life at the moment.This was the first book that I had read from this author and I was so glad that I did and will definitely be reading more.

Bleeding Hilarious
With a glass of Malbec, a sun-filled terrace and plenty of lockdown hours to while away, this novel proved to be the perfect antidote to escaping the mess happening all around us. Hilarious, page-turning and beautifully written, Domhnall's third novel continues his legacy of crafting crazy, hyperbolic - yet, oddly enough, relatable - characters whose journeys you simply cannot resist experiencing with them.The rollercoaster of exhilarating, yet intertwined, plotlines will have you at the edge of your seat!This laugh-out-loud novel is such a welcome tonic, guaranteed to put a smile on your face and leave you in fits of giggles (as well as the odd curious glance from the comcerned neighbours on the terrace next door!).Whilst I cannot wait for the next of Domhnall's novels, now what I REALLY, REALLY want is to have my own personal stalker, come what may!If it involved even a smidgen of drama à la Crazy for You, my life would be complete .Excellent stuff, Domhnall. Congratulations.(Product Purchased - kindle version).

Sharp-witted and funny, the characters are incredibly engaging - loved it!
Domhnall's writing is always a delight to read. Crazy for You is sharp-witted and funny, the characters are incredibly engaging, reading this is like watching a movie in your own head. This is a must-read for anyone looking to brighten their day. Be warned - once you pick it up, it will be very hard to put down
