The second book from acclaimed writer and journalist Joel Golby

‘There’s no one funnier than Joel Golby' GREG JAMES

‘I love this book’ DOLLY ALDERTON

How much of your life do you review? Books, TV, film, music – the reviewable things? Ever tried going a little further, reviewing the intangibles, the abstract, the ‘weird’: a houseplant; the sunlight on the pavement on a crisp spring day; being embarrassed; that strange wave you do at cars when they slow down at zebra crossings. A dead houseplant.

From almond croissants to the concept of life itself, Joel Golby embarks on a journey through modern living, leaving no stone unturned – no one thing unreviewed – to consider what it all really means; why we all care so much about opinions; and whether, deep down, it’s better to live a life that’s good rather than, well, five stars out of five.

I am London-based, where I work as a staff writer for VICE, but I've also been published in all sorts of places: Guardian, Shortlist, Mr Hyde, FHM, BBC, Grazia and Heat, where I used to work. And, uh... other stuff about me. I am right-handed. More of a cat than a dog man, but I see merits in both. Um. I'm taller, than most people think. People are often surprised when they see my full height. And, uh... well, I've always wanted to write a book.

Reviews for Four Stars: A Life. Reviewed.

'Joel Golby at his best: darkly reflective, so, so funny, and life affirming in quite an unhinged way. I loved it.' Monica Heisey, bestselling author of Really Good, Actually
