About this title

Review:

Packed with drama, friendship, love and tragedy, this is a brilliant touching tale of what happens when real life catches up with us. (Heat)

'Moving and powerful'**** (Mirror)

Gayle (rather bravely) often writes in the first person as a female character, but he hits the right notes, and the result is a warm and unforced comedy... Gayle's humour is human and he has a fine eye for the quiet pain of unrequited love. (Telegraph)

What I love about Mike Gayle is the way he seamlessly blends humour and sensitivity - his books are always rip-roaringly funny, yet so humane too. (Freya North)

Book Description:

One year. Three couples. Six parties.
