"A sparkling gem of romantic comedy" (New York Times), this captivating novel was penned by the late, beloved author and has won the hearts of acclaimed figures such as Nigella Lawson, Dolly Alderton, Katherine Heiny, and Caroline O'Donoghue.

Guido, known for his reluctance to fall in love with women he encounters in museums, finds himself drawn to HOLLY, a woman who exudes precision and knows exactly what she desires. From pressed sheets to the perfect cup of tea on a tray, HOLLY has a refined taste, and now Guido finds himself captivated by her.

In contrast, VINCENT, Guido's cheerful best friend and cousin, falls for his misanthropic new colleague, MISTY. At first, MISTY appears disinterested in love, just as she is in Vincent. However, as their relationship unfolds, they navigate through courtship, arguments, wedding plans, and various challenges that test their bond. Through it all, the couples discover ways to be happy (almost) all the time, showcasing the enduring power of love and companionship.

This novel is a true testament to its author's wit and wisdom, offering a rich and fulfilling reading experience. It has been praised for its uplifting and funny nature, as well as its generous portrayal of human emotions and relationships. Many readers have described it as one of the most comforting and clever novels they have encountered, leaving a lasting impact on their lives.

With its relatable characters, witty dialogue, and heartwarming narrative, "A sparkling gem of romantic comedy" is a must-read for anyone seeking a delightful and uplifting literary journey.
