About this listen

It all starts with a girl.... (Because yes, there's always a girl.) Jason Priestley (not that one) has just seen her. They shared an incredible, brief, fleeting moment of deep possibility, somewhere halfway down Charlotte Street. And then, just like that, she was gone - accidentally leaving him holding her old-fashioned, disposable camera, chock-full of undeveloped photos....

And now Jason - ex-teacher, ex-boyfriend, part-time writer and reluctant hero - faces a dilemma: Should he try and track The Girl down? What if she's The One? But that would mean using the only clues he has, which lie untouched in this tatty disposable...

It's funny how things can develop....

Mackenzie Crook is best known for playing Gareth on The Office, a role for which he earned two BAFTA nominations, and Ragetti in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. He also provided his voice and movements to a character in Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin.

Wendy Wason was a regular in several comedy series such as Tittybangbang and The IT Crowd, and she has also appeared in Midsomer Murders. As a comedian, she has also had three successful Edinburgh Festival shows.

A change from the norm.

Not what I was expecting from Danny Wallace when compared to his earlier books. I enjoyed the characters and the story line. I enjoyed the will they/won't they aspect and the various other story lines weaved through the main story. The characters were endearing. I enjoyed Mackenzie Crook's performance throughout.

A surprisingly thought-provoking non romance

A fan of Danny Wallace's other writing, I really enjoyed this story of a not actual romance and a young man's journey through pain into adulthood. Doesn't sound very funny but it is and if there really is a romance at the heart, it is with the city of London.

Thirsty reader

I loved this book somuch so i have been recommending it to friends. I'm now left with a hole in my life that can surely only be filled by another Danny Wallace or a book similarly good and British. Help!!

Ps buy it, it won't disappoint.

Exceptional

It was a very good listen. I love Danny Wallace, i think he is a great writer and hilarious.
for me the only thing that could make it 5 stars was if it was Danny reading the book himself that always makes the books just that much better.
But in the all it was a fantastic purchase
