24/3 - a novel by Jake Wallis Simons

Julian Stevens, an emotionally complicated – and overweight — aspiring novelist, enters a competition to write a novel in three days. By writing about the traumatic experiences that he had while at Oxford University, he finally hopes to “move on.” But can he do it? And what does “moving on” really mean?

24/3 is a touching, nuanced tale of one man’s struggle with the sharper side of love. Actually written in just three days, it provides a clear-eyed view of the complexities of relationships and the futility of doing battle with fate. Read the first chapter free
