David Nicholls, the author of "One Day," has written a novel that is both funny and smart, insightful, and sincere about heartbreak. The book has been praised by the Daily Express, which calls it a "novel to be devoured, adored, underlined ... if only more books made you laugh as much as this." The story follows Andy, who is struggling to understand why his relationship with Jen ended. He is living without a home, waiting for his stand-up career to take off, and wondering why everyone else around him seems to have grown up while he wasn't. Andy clings to the idea of solving the puzzle of their broken relationship, hoping that if he can find the answer, Jen can find her way back to him. The book is a sharply funny, beautifully observed, and exquisitely relatable story of heartbreak and friendship, and how to survive both. It has been praised by AISLING BEA, who said it made her laugh while punching her in the gut, and by CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN, who said it was the greatest. MARIAN KEYES has awarded it 13/10 on her QWJ scale, which stands for Queasy With Jealousy that she didn't write it. The book is a Sunday Times bestseller for November 2023.
