'A snapshot of his formative moments that feel relatable, emotional and downright unfiltered . . . like a good long chat with a mate you have always adored' Glamour'One of those fearlessly honest books that manages to be moving and thought-provoking and funny at the same time. A bit like him really' Emily Dean, The Times'Personal and beautifully written . . . I can't recommend it enough' Tom Allen, Virgin RadioSoft Lad is a collection of stories about me: stories on life, loves, death, fears, obsessions, nights out, growing up and making dreams come true. It isn't chronological like a traditional memoir, starting at birth and ending with death - I'm still (at the point of writing) very much alive - but snapshots of the formative moments of my life up to now, with coming-of-age tales that capture a moment or a feeling. Some, I hope will make you laugh, and some, are emotional AF, so I'm afraid these might make you cry... They're all honest, unfiltered and I'm proud to be sharing them with you. 'Hilarious and quintessentially Nick. Unapologetically himself always, and that's what I love the most' Dua Lipa'Very funny, very sweet and full of charm -- a bit like the man himself' Graham Norton
