The person you are with is just like you- same background, same age, same interests. The perfect match. And it is an unmitigated disaster.
Then, when, and where, you least expect it, you meet someone new. You seem to have nothing in common and yet, somehow, it feels totally right.
Nick Hornby's brilliantly observed, tender but also brutally funny new novel gets to the heart of what it means to fall surprisingly and headlong in love with the best possible person - someone who is not just like you at all.

As the news is often reminding us, Brexit is a complicated mess, so how does one deal with any sort of relationships in a post-Brexit world? This tenderly told story discusses themes of love, attraction, and what do you do when your polar opposite, against the odds, seems the perfect match for you, all told against the socio-political ramifcations of class, race and Brexit London. - Lewis (QBD)
