I studied media and communications at Goldsmiths College, University of London. I wrote essays about pop music and my dissertation about the gay man, Brian winning Big Brother. I like music, films, TV. So I suppose it’s not too surprising that Best Friends Perfect Book One features songs and films.
There are quite a few film references in Best Friends Perfect Book One. I think this is because I am a massive film fan, and often use films as a shorthand to describe a feeling, outfit, situation in real life. Unsurprisingly, so do the characters in the book.
Best Friends Perfect Book One is available from Wilde City Press and Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
Until next time,

There are quite a few film references in Best Friends Perfect Book One. I think this is because I am a massive film fan, and often use films as a shorthand to describe a feeling, outfit, situation in real life. Unsurprisingly, so do the characters in the book.
- The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert – have you seen the book cover?
- An Officer and a Gentleman – because who hasn’t fantasised about being taken away from it all by a man in a white officer’s uniform?
- One Hundred and One Dalmatians – Cruella De Ville. That is all.
- Muriel’s Wedding – I wrote a whole blog about why I love this film
- Thoroughly Modern Millie – Julie Andrews, a cloche hat, a musical. Need I say more?
- Thelma to my Louise – a road trip/buddie movie, I’m there.
- St Trinian’s film – not the new ones, the old ones, with a man playing the headmistress. And the one with Frankie Howerd and Dora Bryan.
- Four Weddings and a Funeral – Hugh Grant, the weddings, that funeral scene, Richard Curtis. I love it all.
- Rocky Horror Picture Show – because it’s just a step to the left...
- The Sound of Music – The Best Musical Film Ever. This is watched every Christmas in Livings Towers, without fail.
- Pretty Woman – Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, romance. I went to LA and took a picture of *the fire escape* because of this film.
- Titanic – Leonardo Di Caprio, ‘my heart will go on’ and the brilliant French & Saunders spoof.
- The Wedding Singer – eighties film made in the nineties *gets to front of queue*
- My Best Friend’s Wedding – Rupert Everett and Julia Roberts, romcoms – you get the idea
- The Wizard of Oz – Judy Garland, ruby slippers, and Wicked the musical rocks *hard* too
