THE G CLUB

The G Club is the debut novel by Paul Madden, exploring grief, resilience, and emotional survival through the story of two unlikely companions brought together by loss.

​

Written by a psychotherapist with years of experience in LGBTQ+ mental and sexual health, this deeply personal novel began as a creative challenge—and became a lifeline for readers who saw themselves in its pages.

 

A Queer Novel That Goes Beyond Labels

While The G Club features a gay protagonist and touches on complex issues like chemsex and trauma, the heart of the novel is universal. It's a story about:

• Grieving deeply and surviving the aftermath

• Finding connection in unexpected places

• Reclaiming your life when everything feels lost

 

Readers of all backgrounds—LGBTQ+ and allies alike—have found The G Club emotionally resonant and unforgettable. From gay book clubs in London to straight women in their sixties, this is a novel that connects across generations and identities.

 

Meet Jamie – A Therapist Who Can’t Heal Himself

Jamie, a London-based counsellor, is returning to work after a devastating personal loss. When he meets Teresa, an older woman dealing with her own grief, their worlds collide in quiet but powerful ways.

By day, Jamie offers guidance. By night, he escapes into the risky world of GHB-fueled chemsex, numbing the pain he can’t confront.

 

But healing doesn’t always look like progress. And sometimes, the people we least expect become our greatest mirrors.
