I don't normally quote for fiction, but as clearly all Mil has done in the way of fiction here is change the name 'Mil' to the name 'Pel', I have no compunction whatsoever in pointing out that this is completely hilarious. * Jenny Colgan * A comedy of relationships in all their confusions * Sunday Life * Funny . . . moves at a cracking pace * Sunday Mirror * Guaranteed to raise a smile * Irish News * A surprise hit . . . a quirky little comedy. * Mirror * It's really funny * Daily Express * Mil Millington's legendary bust-ups with his long-term lover . . . have now spawned a madcap novel. * In Style * Hilarious and insightful . . . Realistic and acerbic, this first novel is bound to receive a lot of attention. * Bookseller * A funny and touching read * Hello * A brilliant, thoroughly urbane hoot * The Big Issue in the North * It's impossible not to laugh out loud at the Anglo-German quips and world-weary observations that tumble off the page * Guardian * A very funny look at relationships. * Company * Mil Millington's comic timing is spot-on in this laugh-out-loud warm-hearted and engaging novel. * Publishing News * Compulsive reading . . . drenched in self-deprecating humour. * Metro * The plot escalates with all the shameless hyperbole needed to fuel a really good row . . .

There is little to say about coupledom that is not wittily and often movingly explored here. Sharply-written, brilliantly observed and absolutely hilarious. * Wendy Holden, Daily Mail * Laugh out loud funny, realistic, insightful and thoroughly entertaining * Courier * With his tear-inducing humour, Millington has tapped into the zeitgeist, Helen Fielding-style. * Vogue * Cringingly familiar, devastatingly funny . . . definitely one for fans of Nick Hornby and Tony Parsons * Mango Book Club website * A brilliantly written comedy.

Reseña del editor:
Pel Dalton's life is uneventful. He spends his days bluffing through an IT job in the university library, pillow-fighting with his two sons and finding new things to argue about with Ursula, his German girlfriend. But all this is about to change. When his boss suddenly disappears, and Pel steps reluctantly into his shoes, his life begins to spiral out of control. Stolen money, missing colleagues, ominous calls from Hong Kong, and something nasty beneath the university foundations are only the beginning of Pel's problems. Faced with embarrassing PTA meetings and a fridge that really needs defrosting, Pel is about to learn that sometimes the things that drive you crazy can be the only things that keep you sane.
