Sometimes you need to get lost to find your way...

Marnie is stuck.
Stuck working alone in her London flat, stuck battling the long afternoons and a life that often feels like it's passing her by.

Michael is coming undone.
Reeling from his wife's departure, increasingly reclusive, taking himself on long, solitary walks across the moors and fells.

When a persistent mutual friend and some very English weather conspire to bring them together, Marnie and Michael suddenly find themselves alone on the most epic of walks and on the precipice of a new friendship.

But can they survive the journey?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

After the overwhelming success of One Day’s TV adaptation, its author David Nicholls is having another moment. You Are Here—his sixth novel and first since 2019’s Sweet Sorrow—is a gentle introduction to Nicholls’ gorgeous storytelling and almost unrivalled power to spark unprovoked weeping from his readers. Your Em and Dex here are divorcees Marnie and Michael, brought together by a mutual friend on a monumental coastal walk. Here, our heroes tackle some brutal weather and realities of their shared back stories. There’s little by way of melodrama or huge twists, the magic lies within Nicholls’ gut-wrenching ability to capture magic and heartbreak from the mundane realities of everyday life and conjure up characters we can’t fail to hold dear.
