Description
‘Funny – of course it’s funny – but also smart, insightful and sincere about heartbreak' DAVID NICHOLLS, author of ONE DAY
'This is the greatest. You'll cry and laugh. I read it though the night. And I never, ever avoid sleep' CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN
‘I award it 13/10 on my QWJ scale (stands for Queasy With Jealousy that I didn't write it)’ MARIAN KEYES
---
Every relationship has one beginning.
This one has two endings.
Andy loves Jen. Jen loved Andy.
And he can't work out why she stopped.
Now he is. . .
1. Without a home
2. Waiting for his stand-up career to take off
3. Wondering why everyone else around him seems to have grown up while he wasn't looking
Set adrift on the sea of heartbreak at a time when everything he thought he knew about women, and flat-sharing, and his friendships has transformed beyond recognition, Andy clings to the idea of solving the puzzle of their broken relationship. Because if he can find the answer to that, then maybe Jen can find her way back to him.
Andy still has a lot to learn, not least his ex-girlfriend's side of the story.
From the bestselling author of Ghosts and Everything I Know About Love: a sharply funny, beautifully observed and exquisitely relatable story of heartbreak and friendship, and how to survive both.
'The most book-based fun I had this year ... It's the most I've laughed while reading about heartbreak since Nick Hornby's High Fidelity. A complete delight' The Sunday Times, Critics' favourite books of the year

Ruby B, Reviewer
This book was an absolute pleasure to read. My expectations were high because basically I love anything that Dolly Alderton writes. I would read her shopping lists if I'm honest but truly this book did not disappoint.
I was completely engaged and gripped by the narrative and I also found it refreshing witnessing a break up from a sensitive and emotional male perspective. It felt so true and at times funny (the houseboat), and I felt completely sucked into the thirty somethings' London in which they lived. I would thoroughly recommend it.
