Just Like You

The person you are with is just like you- same background, same age, same interests. The perfect match. And it is an unmitigated disaster.

Then, when, and where, you least expect it, you meet someone new. You seem to have nothing in common and yet, somehow, it feels totally right.

Nick Hornby's brilliantly observed, tender but also brutally funny new novel gets to the heart of what it means to fall surprisingly and headlong in love with the best possible person - someone who is not just like you at all.

Hornby is a fine writer, swift and pointed, with a lighter, more mischievous heart than he lets on, and more sympathy for the devil than he admits to New York Magazine Hornby writes with a funny, fresh voice which skewers male and female foibles with hilarious accuracy Guardian He should write for England Observer Hornby's prose is artful and effortless, his spiky wit as razored as a number-two cut Independent
