Everyone has played a version of “would you rather”, in which two extremely undesirable situations are pitted against each other in order to discover the more cringe worthy of the two. On the very first page of Burgess’ award winning Doing It, this game is played by three lewd, hormonal, sexually competitive (and shall can I say it? familiar sounding) friends. Their topic? Who would be a better “shag”, a nearby homeless lady or the “ugliest girl in school”? If this sort of thing offends you, then you better not grab a copy of an urban dictionary and bunker down with this hilarious book following the ups and downs (pun intended) of trying to get laid at sixteen.
