Well-told, thoughtful, tender and occasionally devastatingly funny love story * Scotsman *
A charming - and sharp - love story about what it means to fall for someone who is your polar opposite * Sunday Telegraph *
Frequently funny, consistently engaging … it has great warmth in its heart * Observer *
Hornby’s hilarious and heart-wrenching new novel explores what it means to be somebody’s perfect match, and why this notion of perfect compatibility is an absolute disaster when it comes to love * Woman and Home, Best Books to Look Forward to this Summer *
The capable crackle of his dialogue - honed by a string of successful screenwriting projects - propels the domestic drama forward at an easy pace, particularly effective in the voices of the children * Financial Times *

Nick Hornby writes so well about his characters … his most enjoyable book for some years * Sunday Express *
Hornby has always been a first-rate storyteller and Just Like You - just perfectly put together - sparkles with tip-top dialogue and pin-sharp comic timing * Daily Mail *
