Summary
"Nothing is stable in this house, including the people."
It’s the end of summer 2007 and a new phase of life is starting for Matty, George, Adam and Ross. While they wait for Drive Like I Do to conquer the world, as Matty assures them is going to happen, their parents have a more mundane vision for their future: they’re going to move out and be independent. Ross and Adam are off to university, George, the baby of the group, has ditched school for college and Matty is...actually nobody’s really sure what Matty’s doing right now but he’s got plans, big plans.
For George, it’s a whole new world of infinite freedom and parties and endless weed and girls, hopefully, with his best mates beside him 24/7. It’s going to be the time of his life. So why is having Matty living through the wall stirring up so many new and unsettling feelings in him, and how much of this is Matty aware of? And what the actual fuck is George supposed to do with all of this?
It turns out that you never really know people until you share the same living space as them, and when you do know them, really know them, sometimes you wish you didn’t.

Summary
“I know I’m being shitty but I can’t even bring myself to give a proper reply to Ross. I know I should be trying harder. It’s not like I’ve got so many friends that I can afford to piss off the ones I do have. I should be grateful that he’s here at all, really. Grateful that Ross is the kind of person whose take on friendship is “He’s a cunt but he’s a mate”.
It’s seven months after the end of “The Cellophane House” and George is lost. Matty is lost too, as far as George can tell from their late-night drunken, stoned, fucked up conversations.
What do you do when life hands you everything you ever wanted and then rips it away? What if you’ve always thought you were a good person, even if some people in your life might disagree, and then you realise you’re not? What if none of this is actually fix-able at all? If he’s ever going to find his way back, George will need to face up to all of these questions and more. Being an adult, he’s discovering, isn’t all it’s talked up to be. It’s just really fucking hard.
