Adam Farrer<p>Cold Fish Soup details what happened to me when I moved to the Yorkshire coast in 1992, aged 16 (pictured), expecting it to transform my life. It's a book about grief, love, mental health, obsession, environmental panic, my mum undressing on national TV and, eventually, a werewolf. Also, it won an award, so there's something. </p><p>You can buy it here, and I'd really appreciate it if you did. <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Memoir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Memoir</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Jolabokaflod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jolabokaflod</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cold-Fish-Soup-Adam-Farrer/dp/1913393461" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">amazon.co.uk/Cold-Fish-Soup-Ad</span><span class="invisible">am-Farrer/dp/1913393461</span></a></p>
