'Funny, sad, intelligent, gripping -- does everything you hope a novel will do. Brilliant', 'A touching, even-handed and thoroughly engaging tale of love, jealousy and fatherhood', 'At first it's a bitter-sweet love story, then it turns dark and harsh, then it's sour-sweet again, and you have to keep turning the page to find out where this intricate, irresistible novel is going to take you next'., Dunlop's writing is quite mesmerising and insightful. I think it is well written, original and would make an interesting TV adaptation. Readers who enjoy Nick Hornby and David Nicholls will enjoy this novel. It reminded me a little of the film "The Break Up" which also charts the ups and downs of a couple, Very enjoyable. I was totally captivated by the story which managed to be realistic with being boring. It's a real gem of a book and deserves to sell loads
