Episode 6
Jonathan's wedding is fast-approaching, and with a deadline looming at work, his stress levels are running dangerously high.
Rhashan Stone continues reading from the new novel by Meg Rosoff, her first for adults, Jonathan Unleashed. The story of a young man, Jonathan Trefoil who - aided by his canine companions Dante the collie and Sissy the spaniel - is struggling to navigate the responsibilities of adulthood and the demands of his new life in New York.
Jonathan's stress levels are going through the roof. Increasingly unhappy at work, he has hastily accepted his girlfriend Julie's commercially sensible proposal: to get married and have everything paid for by her employer, Bridal-360, in exchange for an eight page spread in the magazine and permission to live-stream the ceremony online to an audience of 100,000. What could possibly go wrong?
