Wish You Were Here - Tapa dura

'As youd expect from Gayle, the laughs flow thick and fast, making this a top match for your sunny holiday spirits.' -- Glamour 'An observant offering' -- Heat 'This book explores the strength of friendship, getting older and settling down with forthright honesty and humour. Wise, witty and with endearing characters, this is a feel-good read with lots of laughs.' -- Woman 'The prolific Mike Gayle knows a thing or two about the male psyche, and how not even an extended adolescence will prevent the pain from catching up in the end.' -- Herald 'If we needed more proof that men don't think like women, then Wish You Were Here delivers it in extra strength doses ... A fun story of three 30 somethings as they come to rueful -- and thankful -- realisation that they are no longer 18.' -- Candis 'This book makes great beach reading ... A heartwarming and funny tale.' -- Love It! 'A delightfully witty tale' -- Star 'This is Mike Gayles sixth novel and his appeal lies in his ability to give even the most banal detail a lurid resonance, and to spell out the bleeding obvious in more ways than one could have thought possible. Yet the whole thing becomes almost hypnotically relaxing.' -- Sunday Telegraph

Their holiday brochure said 18 30 ...But they've just turned 35. After ten years together Charlie Mansell has been dumped by his live-in girlfriend, Sarah. All he wants to do is wallow in misery, but mates Andy and Tom have a better idea: a week of sun, sea and souvlaki in Malia party capital of the Greek islands. But Charlie and his mates aren't eighteen any more. Or even under thirty. And it shows. It isn't the cheap beer, the late nights or even the fast-food that's the problem. It's girls. And life. And most of all ...each other. WISH YOU WERE HERE is a heart-warming, funny and wise tale about love and friendship and how seven days in the sun can change your life forever.
