Críticas:
There is more than a whiff of Stepford Wives about Thorne's creepy little tale...The author's spare, matter-of-fact style... is well suited to this depiction of self-abnegation and delusion. (TIMES (17.9.05))
A sinister Borgesian game uncoils whose denouement is cleverly obscured until the final pages. (OBSERVER)
The novel unexpectedly develops into a kind of paranoid thriller, as Steve finds out what he's capable of doing for love. Its open ending and Thorne's dispassionate prose allow you to read it as either a simple morality tale...or, more rewardingly, a study in sexual obsession and paranoid delusion. (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY (25.9.05))
This tale of a teacher whose love life takes a surreal turn when he meets an old man is dark and addictive. (HEAT (1-7 October) ****)
The perils of sexual fantasy furnish Matt Thorne with the theme for this satire-cum-thriller. (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH (9.10.05))
There are impressive touches, and Thorne is very good on peculiarly male characteristics and interests: boredom, sex, sleep and emotional detachment. (Jerome de Groot GUARDIAN (15.10.05))
Thorne's smartly written novel has fun with a full complement of modern anxieties about relationships and sex. (INDEPENDENT (28.10.05))

Steve Ellis is rather bored with his life. His job is unexciting, he hasn't had a girlfriend in years, and now his bedroom ceiling is caving in.
Then he meets a man in a pub who asks him about his perfect woman. Of course, Steve thinks this is all a joke and describes his fantasy right down to the very last, and very idiosyncratic detail including her name - Cherry.
So when Cherry not only appears, but fulfils Steve every desire and whim, Steve is confused, taken aback, but also deliriously happy.
But such happiness comes with a price. When you meet a man in a bar and he arranges for you to fall in love there's bound to be some strings attached. Some people will do anything for love . . .
