Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Funny, sad and wonderfully humane, Nick Hornby's new novel asks some of the big questions: about life and death, strangers and frienships, love and pain, and whether a slice of pizza can really see you through a long, dark night of the soul. It has sold 66,000 hardbacks and 33,000 trade paperbacks in the UK to date. 'His best novel to date and necessarily a fast read because impossible to put down' Ruth Rendell, "Guardian"

Publisher's description:

Disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp wanted to jump off the top of a tower block, because he pissed his life away. He plans to end it all on New Year's Eve. Because first single-mum Maureen, then Jess and lastly American rock-god JJ, turn up and crash Martin's private party. They've stolen his idea, but brought their own reasons.
