From the bestselling author of Ghosts and Everything I Know About Love: a funny, wise, deeply relatable novel about heartbreak and friendships – and how to survive both.

Andy's story wasn't meant to turn out this way.

Living out of a suitcase in his best friends’ spare room, waiting for his career as a stand-up comedian to finally take off, he struggles to process the life-ruining end of his relationship with the only woman he’s ever truly loved.

As he tries to solve the seemingly unsolvable mystery of his broken relationship, he contends with career catastrophe, social media paranoia, a rapidly dwindling friendship group and the growing suspicion that, at 35, he really should have figured this all out by now.

Andy has a lot to learn, not least his ex-girlfriend's side of the story.
