Jonathan Trefoil is a floundering individual. He is stuck in a life that he seems to have little or no control over. One minute he’s at college, causally dating. The next he’s living in New York City working at a marketing company, in charge of his brother’s dogs whilst he is working in Dubai.
Oh, and his girlfriend is seemingly now his fiancée.
Jonathan has issues with working at Comrade, it is mind-numbingly boring and he would much prefer to be exploring his creative side and writing/drawing graphic novels. Whilst Julie is living away from New York, Jonathan’s life is mundane, but stress free. He goes to work, walks the dogs, designs his novels, and repeat...
When Julie arrives in town with a new job, it quickly becomes clear that Jonathan’s life is a lot more hectic with her in it. And now she’s saying that she wants to get married. He doesn’t need to worry about a thing through because the magazine she’s working on will pay for it...
But Jonathan although he loves Julie, really isn’t sure about marriage.
How can he tell her without breaking her heart?
Jonathan unleashed is a novel full of some wonderful quirky characters, and is a great quick read. Perfect for this chilly winter nights where you need a little warmth...
