Barney

Barney Conroy is a disaster.

Awkward. Overthinking. Constantly saying the wrong thing.

And somehow... still trying to find love.

After getting himself fired from the public service, Barney lands a job at a chaotic PR firm with no clients and no clear plan. The boss wears Hawaiian shirts to meetings. Nothing makes sense.

Then he meets Gloria.

Smart. Sharp. Completely out of his league.

What follows is a funny, painfully relatable story about:

Bad decisions
Social disasters
Trying to get your life together when you have no idea how



If you've ever:

Said the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time
Overthought a conversation for hours afterward
Wondered how everyone else seems to have life figured out



...you'll recognise Barney.

Funny, heartfelt, and uncomfortably relatable, this is a story about getting everything wrong before getting it right.

Perfect for fans of Nick Hornby and David Nicholls.
