Review


Man Soup is a gay coming of age story. Ed leaves a quiet and peaceful place and goes to London. Now that’s very country mouse meeting city mouse if you ask me. Both geographically and mentally.

Like any “city” it really forces you to grow up, see who you are, see the realities of the world, and makes you deal with the serious cracks in what you thought was a strong self-foundation. The city will sooner spit you out before it coddles you. It’s unforgiving!

That’s Ed and his journey in a nutshell!
This was an interesting and entertaining read. A quick story with steady pacing. We see the highs and lows of the MC and there’s a lot of head shaking and cursing lol. 

This was a first time read for me of this author and it was a lot of fun if not frustrating at times… I mean that in the best way!



EXCERPT

Ed tippytoed awkwardly down the red steps. He was excited but confused. He came to the

changing rooms and the lockers and was overawed by the energy he felt and saw. All these

men, half naked putting on socks, taking off towels, pulling off shirts ­ like it was the most natural

thing in the world.

It only made him aware of how self­-conscious he’d always been, especially around his body and

nakedness. Here were all these fully grown men, some older, some more nubile ­ just changing. Being men. It was like in that moment his mind, his barriers, his awkwardness were all coming

down, he felt suddenly so liberated and excited that he could be proud of his body here. He

could be naked without weird looks or judgment. He could be admired for his body. It all felt so

dirty and wrong and exciting. He eagerly took his clothes off, but didn’t look around much. That must have been a habit from

the PE changing rooms at school. Get dressed quickly. Don’t look around. Don’t get accused of

being gay. Take a sneaky glance here or there but don’t do anything that will make them think

you fancy them. He exhaled loudly. He was almost shivering at the anticipation and excitement

he was feeling. It was like a new fantasy world that he was discovering, well beyond his

imagination."
