Ben and Rebecca - their lives, their friends, their relationship - are so cleverly and realistically drawn that you'll believe every line. There's also a cracking good plot! I honestly couldn't put it down. * Katy Regan *
Jimmy and Laura became mates while studying journalism at Sheffield University, so sitting in pubs talking about life and love is something they've been doing for the last ten years. Now they're writing books together they just take their laptops and write it all down, but little else has changed. Jimmy still tells Laura off for always being late, and Laura can still drink Jimmy under the table. Their friendship survives because Laura makes tea exactly how Jimmy likes it (he once took a picture of his perfect brew on Laura's phone so she can colour match it for strength) and because Jimmy noted Laura's weakness for custard creams and stocks up accordingly.
