Praise for this book

"The funniest, loveliest book I've read in ages. Most of all it is horribly, cringingly, absolutely 100% honest and true to life: I lived every page." - Jenny Colgan

"Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable . . . brilliant on the details of the last couple of decades of British cultural and political life . . . the perfect beach read for people who are normally repelled by the very idea of beach reads." - Nick Hornby

"I really loved it . . . it's absolutely wonderful . . . just so moving and engaging." - Kate Mosse

"The ultimate zeitgeist love story for anyone who ever wanted someone they couldn't have." - Adele Parks

"A totally brilliant book about the heartbreaking gap between the way we were and the way we are...the best weird love story since THE TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE. Every reader will fall in love with it. And every writer will wish they had written it." - Tony Parsons
