About the Book

Auto Pilot plunges into the tumultuous, unvarnished world of Laurence Moth, a restless teenager grappling with the bewildering landscape of adolescence, burgeoning desire, and self-discovery. Following a school cinema trip, a seemingly innocent game of strip poker spirals into unexpected revelations and public humiliation, setting the stage for Laurence's chaotic journey of first loves, betrayals, and rebellious acts. Haunted by intense urges and a constant struggle for control over his own body and mind, Laurence navigates complex relationships. His pursuit of Linda is fraught with awkward encounters, from a disastrous "Vomit Kiss" at a mountain party to a humiliating attempt at intimacy on a waterbed. Driven by desire and insecurity, he embarks on a "bigamous" affair with Heidi, a lie that publicly unravels, leaving him consumed by guilt and isolation. Laurence's life is a relentless push and pull against parental expectations and strict religious doctrines. His attempts at independence often backfire, whether hosting a catastrophic birthday party that descends into chaos or grappling with plummeting school performance that threatens expulsion. He seeks fleeting solace in unexpected places: the cynical wisdom of "the Admiral," a park tramp who offers unique perspectives on control, weakness, and loss, and the unconventional, love-focused philosophy of Sandra, a tenant. But deeper troubles fester. His friendship with Jonny is tested by jealousy and a heartbreaking confession about his father's tragic death. The ultimate betrayal comes when Linda's cold "It's over now" note confirms her relationship with Jonny and PK, leaving Laurence shattered and alienated. Cornered by an exasperated father's ultimatum, Laurence plans a desperate escape to Bangkok. Yet, before he can flee, rage and desperation ignite a shocking act of revenge: a brutal, public attack involving his beloved guinea pig, Miffle, at a band concert. This devastating climax forces Laurence to confront his own volatile and destructive nature. The profound loss of the Admiral, his philosophical anchor, leaves Laurence truly adrift. In a raw, visceral struggle, he attempts to board a plane for his escape, but is confronted by his deepest fears and the symbolic "ghosts" of his family, leading to a public breakdown and the definitive failure of his desperate flight. Auto Pilot is a raw and unflinching portrayal of turbulent growing pains, where every impulsive decision has a heavy price. It explores the depths of teen angst, unbridled desire, betrayal, and the desperate search for identity and belonging in a world that constantly pushes back. Will Laurence ever find his place, or is he destined to be forever lost as his own auto pilot fails him, leaving him spiralling?
