The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a heartfelt, intelligent and uplifting novel about true love in all its forms . . .
Bound together by their parents' tragic death, devoted siblings Mimi and Art have different ideas about everything - most recently, how Mimi should find love.
Mimi believes that love is more than just a numbers game. Art, a maths genius, thinks people are incapable of making sensible decisions, especially about romance. That's what algorithms are for.
So, when Mimi meets someone, Art starts looking for a glitch. Because something doesn't add up and Art fears he's in danger of losing his sister forever . . .
'Tender, unique and uplifting . . . Such an accomplished debut' - Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare

Kara Gnodde was born in Johannesburg and raised on a diet of Dr Seuss and no TV. After graduating from the University of Cape Town, she joined Saatchi & Saatchi in London as a strategic planner - work that required head and heart, her favorite kind. She lived in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore before settling back in the UK with her husband and three children. A discussion on the radio about a maths problem that could change the world, or perhaps just help keep her desk tidy, gave her a place to start The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything, her debut novel.
