Don't Be a Dick Pete Summary

Don't Be a Dick Pete by Stuart Heritage

Stuart Heritage got where he is today by being decent, thoughtful, hardworking and kind. He is, in short, a model citizen. The favourite son. His younger brother Pete is quick-tempered, peevish and aggressively pig-headed and, for a while, known to his friends as 'Shagger'. But now, Stu has returned to his hometown to discover that Pete has taken his place. Practical and resourceful where Stu is not, Pete has become a shoulder to lean on. He is now undoubtedly the better son. And all at once Pete and Stu have to reevaluate their fraternal dynamic. It should be easy, but it isn't. Because, well ... Pete's a dick. Don't Be A Dick, Pete is Stuart Heritage's unconventional and laugh-out-loud biography of his brother. It is a hilarious examination of home and family; sons, fathers, fatherhood, sibling relationships and how hard it is to move on in a system that's loaded with several decades of preconceived ideas about you.

Don't Be a Dick Pete Reviews

"Almost unfairly funny" * Hadley Freeman *
"I loved it so much I read it in one fell swoop. Fantatically funny but also so touching" * India Knight *
"Every person I know is going to love this book. I can't imagine anyone reading this book and not being in love with it. He is incomparable in terms of his voice and observational lens... No one writes about the incidentals and the characteristics of British life better than him" * Dolly Alderton *
"This is (very, very) funny, but it's also a story about brothers and families and home, and it's as warm as it is rude" * Stylist *
"Hilarious ... a touching take on modern masculinity and family" * Grazia *
"Warm and furious and just hilarious" * Marina O'Loughlin *
"Really funny, and ultimately very touching" * Marian Keyes *
"I think it's BRILLIANT" -- Xan Brooks
