About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the bestselling author of Ghosts and Everything I Know About Love: a sharply funny, beautifully observed and exquisitely relatable story of heartbreak and friendship, and how to survive both.
Andy loves Jen. Jen loved Andy.
And he can't work out why she stopped.
Now he is. . .
1. Without a home
2. Waiting for his stand-up career to take off
3. Wondering why everyone else around him seems to have grown up while he wasn't looking
Set adrift on the sea of heartbreak at a time when everything he thought he knew about women, and flat-sharing, and his friendships has transformed beyond recognition, Andy clings to the idea of solving the puzzle of their broken relationship. Because if he can find the answer to that, then maybe Jen can find her way back to him.
Andy still has a lot to learn, not least his ex-girlfriend's side of the story.

Funny, relatable thoroughly enjoyed!
Enjoyed Everything I Know About Love and Ghosts, so I had high expectations - and was far from disappointed. Great narration too. The flip in POV was a powerful way to close the story and even stronger with a new narrator to listen to.

Fabulous
Took me a while to get into but 1/3 of the way in I was hooked. Beautifully written and great way to change the perspective on a breakup story.

Poignant yet beautiful
Dolly Alderton just gets people in all of their flawed glory. The vulnerability and growth of the characters just draws you in. This could be the story of your friends, your partner or you. Particularly love the surprises in the last quarter of the story.

I want to give more than 5 stars..!
LOVE LOVE LOVED this book. Pulled at the heartstrings in all the best ways. I swapped between the hard copy and audio, and have to say I preferred the audio! The narrators did such a fantastic job, that hearing their voices really formed who the characters were for me in my head. Gut punches in the best way with some lines. Totally beautiful and will stay with me. Thank you Dolly for putting things into words that can be so hard to unjumble when it comes to relationships!!

The narration brought to humour of it all to life
Loved it all, just wish the book ended with Andy as I’d grown so affectionately towards him throughout the book and then had to suddenly get to know and love Jen.

Loved it!!
Dolly never disappoints. I demolished this book and was so sad when it ended. I hope she writes a sequel!
