‘Charming but unsentimental, Spirit Level is a hilarious and genuinely moving story about grief and friendship’ IRISH TIMES’It’s touching, intriguing and GAS! About friendship and anxiety and ghosts and being a man. I enjoyed it very much’ – Marian Keyes’Spirit Level is an outrageously bingeable read. It is surprising, warm, inventive and a lot of fun’ – Louise Nealon’One of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time. Buy it now and cackle your way through the summer’ – Killian Sundermann’Craven pulled me in with his brilliant humour, only to make me feel genuine emotion. I’ll never forgive him for this’ – Seán BurkeDanny Hook is a directionless twenty-something year old fresh out of therapy. Dealing with his disappointed family and dead-end career, he’s sure things couldn’t get much worse, until a drink-driving accident leaves his best friend Nudge dead.

Danny also discovers he can see ghosts – but only when he’s drunk. Saddled with a best friend who can’t leave his side, they must figure out what’s going on and why Nudge can’t cross over. Can Danny negotiate family life, therapy and a ghost that refuses to fade into the background before time runs out?
