Synopsis
Charley’s great. She’s everything Terry has ever dreamed of in a woman and more. She’s sophisticated, intelligent, funny and beautiful. She enjoys dinner parties and hanging out in the West End’s trendiest night spots. She is, for want of a better word, wonderful. Terry simply can’t believe his luck.
And neither do the lads on Terry’s building site. As far as they’re concerned this Charley’s just out for a bit of rough. And they’re loathe to see Terry fall for such a trickster, particularly after his recent heartbreak.
Charley’s own friends seem just as wary as Terry’s. They can see this Jack the lad’s just after her money. Why can’t she?
When North London meets South, gastro-pub meets local boozer, and white collar meets blue, Charley and Terry’s love is built on the shakiest of foundations. But it’ll take a reality film crew to bring the whole thing down around their ears.
Reviews
'One of the few writers to make me laugh out loud. King's brilliant at making you love characters who essentially are quite bad people' David Baddiel
Praise for School for Scumbags:
‘Fast, exciting and funny. Amoral, anarchic and un-PC, School for Scumbags is a lot of fun’ Guardian
‘A corker of a novel... great, swindling fun’ Time Out
‘Great fun’ Daily Telegraph
'A rite of passage of a bunch of Bugsy Malones learning the hard way that there is honour among thieves. A sweet book, basically, though I'm sure Danny King would hate me for saying so' Sunday Express
