I love Z's passion in this review. Please check it out for yourself. My Name Isn’t Joe” by James Thomas is a poignant exploration of modern loneliness and the search for intimacy amidst the bustling life of London. The story follows Joseph Bogart, a quirky yet melancholic 30-something, who battles emotional baggage and failed relationships with sharp wit and tragicomedy. Through Joseph’s darkly sensitive insights, the novel delves into themes of hope, betrayal, grief, and love, questioning why so many of us lead lives of 'quiet desperation.' #bookreview #mynameisntjoe #bookrecommendations #bookish #literaryfiction #novel @z.
