I, like the other reviewers, have read all of Gayle's novels and have found them highly enjoyable. I have laughed and cried at all of them. I have empathised with the characters, felt their joy and pain. Having recently split up with my fiance I can relate to Jim and Alison. I too have had those conversations, the packing of belongings, the questions 'where did it go wrong and why?' That is why I like this book, and why I have liked his other novels. He speaks like a real person about real events that people go through - not some Hollywood fluff. I love his style of talking in a blokey way, but not so much so that girls can't understand it. Given that Alison also has a dialogue in this book I felt that a female character was given a lot more room to grow here than in previous novels.
Gayle's excellent style of writing, in a diary format including events and dialogue, is a winning formula that will keep people coming back for more. It really depends on whether or not you're looking for something that's a complete departure from his other books - if so you may be disappointed (London, Birmingham, Manchester and Archway(!) all feature once again).
A winner for me!
