Book Description

Publication Date: 31 Jan 2005
From their first meeting at the student union over a decade ago, Jim and Alison successfully navigated their way through first dates, meeting parents, moving in together and more…



Then they split up and divided their worldly goods (including a sofa, a cat and their flat) into his ’n’ hers.



Now, three years on and with new lives and new loves, they couldn’t be happier. Until a chance encounter throws them back together, and causes them to embark on a journey through their past to ask themselves the big question: where did it all go wrong, and is it too late to put it all right?

4.0 out of 5 stars You can't criticise if you've lived it 30 Aug 2004
By Ms. Kim R. Baker
Format:Paperback
Like many of the experiences in Mike Gayle's novels, I personally feel that it's difficult to criticise his work if you've lived through the events that his characters do.

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars A good read if you don't want to concentrate 4 May 2004
By "caropay"
Format:Paperback
His 'n' Hers is a book which is often frightenly accurate in its interpretations of human emotions and feelings. However, sometimes the prose is a bit lengthy and I really can't imagine that a man, portrayed as a 'bloke' in so many ways, would be so in touch with his feelings and be able to express them so lucidly. The storyline is believable but the characters, especially Jim, don't feel quite so sincere. However, there are parts I could relate to and was disappointed it only took two nights to read. Good reading if you don't want to concentrate too hard!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Ever 24 April 2004
By Mrs. S. J. Hall
Format:Paperback
I have read all of Mike Gayles work and always feel that the next onecannot be as good as the one before. His 'n' Hers I read in a day a dayoff work in the Easter holidays, I sat the children in front of the DVDand read, I have never had the urge to read a book in that way beforedespite doing A level English.
This really is one of the best books Ihave read, the characters appear in front of you, their emotions are onesyou have had, their actions are things you have done.
It is written in day time/hourly pieces that just make you want to keepturning the page.
There is a reference to why do women have severalmillion bottles of shampoo and conditioner and only one head? sticks in mymind!
The story is about relationships both between men,women and their familyand coping with the different things that life can throw at you. The storyalternates between being funny, melancholy and sometimes very sad.
This is a book I recommend everybody should read.
