Beschreibung

'Beautiful, funny, profound ... a story about two people falling in love, one person falling out of it, and the other coming to terms with their loss' New Statesman
Boy meets girl.
Boy loses girl.
Boy loses mind ...
'A devastatingly funny contemporary love story ... infused with reflections on the working world, class, faith, and the wreckage that comes with a soul suffocated by the underbelly of a city. If ever a book could be read as a pilgrimage to discover what the heart finds sacred, this is it' Irish Times
'This book is such a sneaky headf*ck ... beautiful' Lena Dunham
'A book for anyone who ever has been or ever will be heartbroken. So that's everyone' Hollie McNish
