![]() Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() I don't understand why this book is considered to be laugh out loud funny. I found it to be profoundly sad. It is a story of Jen and Andy, who have broken up after a 4 year relationship. They love each other, but Jen doesn't feel that their relationship has what she needs. Andy can't seem to let her go. He drinks too much, has questionable dates, stalks Jen online, and bemoans to his friends that he doesn't understand why she left. He is a comedian, but he flounders at it. Jen has a high powered job and she excels at it. All their friends are having children, but she doesn't know if she wants a family. The story follows their feelings over the course of several months. I just felt sad the entire book - sad due to the end of a relationship. fiction - a (not very successful) stand up comedian Andy in 2019 London, England, UK copes with the sudden end of his 4-year relationship with Jen, who won't explain why she broke up with him. Andy's not all that likeable (or funny), but he's not terrible either--mostly he mopes/whines about the breakup, and he is only tolerable because he knows he's wearing on his friends. Despite Andy's shortcomings, his story is mildly interesting, and as the months pass from summer 2019 to fall/autumn 2019, Andy's paranoid landlord/housemate Morris points out that something big is about to happen to the world; the pre-COVID timeline adds an extra layer of urgency. I liked the ending, but it was maybe a lot to drudge through to get there. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"Jen has dumped Andy, and he's handling the breakup in exactly the way all his friends and family might have expected: very, very badly. Crashing at his mother's house and obsessively photographing his hairline, Andy embraces the rites and rituals of every breakup-the ill-advised decision to move onto a houseboat, the forced merriment of a lads' night out, the accidental late-night text to the ex-all resulting in a never-ending shame spiral. Even as Andy tests the waters of a new relationship, he finds himself drawn back to Jen, revisiting old texts and emails, trying to figure out what truly went wrong"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
