One of the most interesting writers at work in this country today. An exhilarating stylist and a beautiful thinker -- MAX PORTER
Neverland is a brutal, brave and beautifully written book that asks uncomfortable questions and exposes uncomfortable truths. As we follow Kisuule's conflicted journey, we are forced to unpack our own relationship with celebrity and fandom from a perspective rarely seen. Nuanced, necessary and will start many conversations -- YOMI ADEGOKE
With razor-sharp insight and lyrical beauty, Kisuule pulls back the curtain on the allure and the anguish of loving an artist whose brilliance is shadowed by controversy. This book doesn't just tell a story - it grips you, challenging you to confront the complexities of hero worship and the deep, often conflicting emotions that come with it - and absolute must-read -- CALEB FEMI
In Neverland Vanessa Kisuule turns the intense, passionate gaze of the fan away from her object and back onto herself. Rather than asking the question can I still love this personal canonical figure in the knowledge of the harms they perpetrated?, Kisuule explores what we can learn about ourselves through our fandom. It's thrilling and rare to read a writer going at this inquiry with her teeth -- AMY KEY
Neverland is a riveting and courageous exploration of idolisation and personal morality. With unflinching precision, Kisuule examines how cultural icons shape and sometimes distort our moral landscapes. She is a remarkable thinker who seeks to understand rather than judge. And a remarkable writer who conveys her message in thunderous prose -- NATHAN FILER
The most human untangling of a complex and intricate love that I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Incisive, and as funny as it is sharp -- CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS

Vanessa Kisuule is always the smartest, funniest, courageous person in any room and this book is a testament to all of who she is. This is so much more than a book about separating art from artists, which is often such a banal approach. Instead, this is a book about coming of age, with reckoning with yourself, your fallibilities, your vulnerabilities. Vanessa writes with clarity, conviction and heart, and every page is the smartest, funniest, most courageous writing in any room -- NIKESH SHUKLA
Neverland is an unmissable exploration of our crazy codependence with the artists we adore, of what they do for us and what we do to them. Funny, wise and beautifully written, it brilliantly evokes how the things we love change and challenge us. I couldn't stop reading it -- MATT ROWLAND HILL
A fascinating look at fandom, and the complicated knots we tie ourselves in to justify our "problematic fave" -- CARL ANKA
