'Funny, moving and thought-provoking - I loved this' Clare Mackintosh
'If you loved Eleanor Oliphant, try this brilliant new read' Fabulous
The most uplifting story of the summer - about Andrew, who has forgotten how to live, and Peggy, who helps him remember...
-------------------------
MEET ANDREW.
Everybody likes Andrew. But they don't really know him.
They know what he's told them - that he's happily married with two kids. Living the kind of life that's either so boring it's true, or so perfect it's a lie . . .
ENTER PEGGY.
Peggy arrives in Andrew's life in a burst of kindness and possibility. For the first time in ages, Andrew feels alive again. So now that he has everything to lose, can he risk it all and tell Peggy the truth?
A big-hearted story about love, loneliness, and the importance of taking a chance when we feel we have the most to lose.

See what everyone is saying about this summer's most uplifting bestseller!
