excuse the dog-earedness, but never has the phrase 'well-loved' been more apt. I was sent a gratis copy of this by the fantastic team at @deadinkbooks.bsky.social and it's easily in my books of the year (perhaps no. 1!)
thank you, Jordan Prosser, for this 'timely' work- hilarious and heartfelt.

Happy publication day to this wild, punkish, narcotic-fuelled trip of a novel!
Big Time is a riotous delight from start to finish with an ending that made me say, out loud, "that was DIABOLICAL" [complimentary]. I cannot WAIT for you lot to get your hands on it.
