Summary

It all starts, as these things sometimes do, with a dead man.

He was a neighbour, not someone Abby knew well, but still, finding a body when you only came over to borrow a tin of tomatoes, that comes as a bit of a shock.

At least, it should.

And now she can’t shake the feeling that if she hadn’t gone into Simon’s flat, if she’d had her normal Wednesday night instead, then none of what happened next would have happened.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

One of the funniest and most heartbreaking double acts in ages … an exceptionally good debut novel 5*– Heat

Rich, insightful, darkly serious yet also upliftingly funny - Jasper Fforde

Extence draws all his characters - both main and supporting - with great warmth and his depiction of mental illness comes from experience so the novel is an insightful look at the peaks and valleys of the bipolar condition. - Sunday Age, Australia

In the afterword, the author describes his own similar experience, which clearly informs the first-person narrative with honesty and humour, but not sentimentality. Recommended. - Newcastle Herald, Australia
