About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

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.

Loved it all, just wish the book ended with Andy as I’d grown so affectionately towards him throughout the book and then had to suddenly get to know and love Jen.

The narration brought to humour of it all to life

Dolly never disappoints. I demolished this book and was so sad when it ended. I hope she writes a sequel!

Really well put together. Dolly is a wizard the way she writes, very clever tying it all together neatly in the end. A must read for any man, woman or non-binary person who is existing as a member of society in this modern dating world.

Adored!

I loved her other books and heard good things online. It was a slow start with a solid end.
