From the New York Times bestselling author of Ghosts and Everything I Know About Love comes Good Material, a 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 without a home, waiting for his stand-up career to take off, wondering why everyone else around him seems to have grown up while he wasn’t looking. 

Set adrift on the sea of heartbreak, Andy clings to the idea of solving the puzzle of his ruined relationship. Because if he can find the answer to that, then maybe Jen can find her way back to him. But Andy still has a lot to learn, not least his ex-girlfriend’s side of the story.  

In this sharply funny and relatable story of romantic disaster and friendship, Dolly Alderton offers up a love story with two endings, demonstrating why she is one of the most exciting writers today and the true voice of a generation.

Alderton will be in conversation with Karin Tanabe, the author of seven novels including The Sunset Crowd, A Woman of Intelligence, and The Gilded Years.
