I have enjoyed all the Nick Hornby books that I've read. This one too. From the back cover: " a writer who dares to be witty, intelligent and emotionally generous all at once...a skilled, intuitive appreciation for the rigors of comic structure with highly original insights about the way the enchantments of popular culture insinuate themselves into middle-class notions of romance"
Well said, New York Times Book Review!
I was surprised how the story unfolded. It's not what you expect. And, parts are really funny. Being a rock and roll geek, mentions of Kurt Cobain, Beatles, Siouxsie and the Banshees was cool too.
