Every relationship has one beginning. This one has two endings.

‘Funny – of course it’s funny – but also smart, insightful and sincere about heartbreak' David Nicholls, author of One Day

'A novel to be devoured, adored, underlined ... if only more books made you laugh as much as this' The i

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.

Good book

Loved it

I loved this book, it spoke to me. It is the best book I’ve ever read about breakups and what it is like as a woman when you feel you are going against the grain in life. Dolly is a clever, funny, insightful writer and this is a book that will stay with me for a good while.
