Summary

Sophie has never really thought about money, and she certainly hasn’t thought about football, hasn’t so much as uttered a word about it - save for the few times she sees her uncle Keith at family gatherings, asking in mock politeness how his favourite team - Leicester City FC - might be doing that season.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

A joy from start to finish – Kate Atkinson
One of my favourite writers – Dolly Alderton
Hornby is the poet of the everyday * Observer *
Hornby writes with a fresh, funny voice * Guardian *
Hornby is a writer who dares to be witty, intelligent and emotionally generous all at once * New York Times *
Nick Hornby returns to the subject that made us all fall in love with his writing and CASH OUT’s riveting premise will appeal to everyone, whether they love football or not. Final score: Entertainment - 7. Boredom – 0 – John O’Farrell
“We’re having the time of our lives’ is the refrain running through CASH OUT, and I had the time of mine reading it. A love letter to football, and a love story - it is very, very funny and it is Nick Hornby at his best. – Roddy Doyle
So clever and funny, and such a brilliant conceit for building a plot around what it means to be a fan… I loved it – Ben Markovits
A book not just for relatives of football fans who wonder why the stupid game is so important but for those who understand already. Read it and you’ll find yourself invested either way. Nick Hornby’s charismatic, funny, wise, and deeply entertaining novel has the effervescence of prime Kanté and the pace of Vardy on the counter – Benjamin Wood
CASH OUT will delight those indifferent to football, those obsessed, and everyone in between. A story with tension, dilemma, money, sex, an underdog, and a disloyal sister. I have never been less bored reading a book in my life. I LOVED it – Nina Stibbe
