I found this really entertaining, perhaps because I am close in ages to the characters and have experienced the same angst about life that forms the backbone of this book. I kept wanting to hear more about HER side of the story, and the 'big reveal' about her feelings just felt a bit ordinary. Maybe that was the point. The strength of feelings we have in ordinary situations. Like him, an entertaining read, but quiteforgettable now I have moved on!

2️⃣3️⃣ Saturday night with Mai Tai tinnies 😂and a book 🎊 Interesting to read a book from a male‘s perspective for a change! Not my favourite by Dolly Alderton but still I would recommend this to a friend and have already passed it on.

Finished this w my husband last night. We liked, but didn't love, this collection of comedy spanning Jerry's career. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Been waiting for this to come out in paperback. Hopefully a little more lighthearted after Brotherless Night which was tough going.

You don‘t let go once. That‘s your first mistake. You say goodbye over a lifetime. You might not have thought about her for ten years, then you‘ll hear a song or you‘ll walk past somewhere you once went together—something will come to the surface that you‘d totally forgotten about. And you say another goodbye. You have to be prepared to let go and let go and let go a thousand times 💔

A delight of a book. Story of grownups going through a breakup. Strong writing. Recommend! 3.5 🌟

Such an adorable read!

I loved the dry British humour. I loved seeing the protagonist‘s self-discovery journey. I loved the trajectory. The little part at the ended told from his ex‘s perspective was unnecessary but worked well! A nice cute summer read.

Really liked this book about the breakup of Andy and Jen, a couple who love each other, but Jen just can‘t be with him anymore. Andy narrates the book and it could seem too much about his life after the breakup but it doesn‘t. He‘s a standup comic and he‘s forever trying to be a good one along with making sense of the end of his relationship with the woman he loves. A great ending as well!

3.5/5 🌟

This book is about a breakup told from two perspectives. The majority of the book is narrated from his point of view, with only the last 40 pages dedicated to her perspective. This is a shame because I absolutely loved her perspective—it was so relatable and heartfelt. If the majority of the book had been from her pov, it would have easily been a 4.5🌟 read for me.
