Readers are raving about this book!
'This is one of those books that is tugging on your heartstrings one moment and has you laughing out loud the next - another stunning plot line and narrative from Mike Gayle.'
'I loved the narrative and I left this novel feeling totally uplifted . . . I now feel like there is some hope in the world!'

Advance Praise
'Beautifully written, thought-provoking and completely charming. The thing that struck me most about this book were the voices of Danny Allen and James DeWitt. They were pitch-perfect and helped to create a pair of characters I was rooting for from the start and cheering for by the end.' - Ruth Hogan
'That rarest of things; a moving, beautifully written novel about male friendship. The Man I Think I Know is a truthful, wise and wonderfully redemptive story about men stripped bare of the traditional ideals of masculinity - success, strength, power - learning to face up to the real world. I absolutely loved it.' - Lisa Jewell
'A very special book. A moving, thought-provoking storyline told with humour and insight. I loved the distinctive voices of James and Danny and really missed them when I finished it!' - Tracy Rees
