Publisher's summary

The most uplifting story of the summer - about Andrew, who has forgotten how to live, and Peggy, who helps him remember....

MEET ANDREW.

Everybody likes Andrew. But they don't really know him.

They know what he's told them - that he's happily married with two kids. Living the kind of life that's either so boring it's true, or so perfect it's a lie....

ENTER PEGGY.

Peggy arrives in Andrew's life in a burst of kindness and possibility. For the first time in ages, Andrew feels alive again. So now that he has everything to lose, can he risk it all and tell Peggy the truth?

A big-hearted story about love, loneliness and the importance of taking a chance when we feel we have the most to lose.

Warming

I bought this book in Bristol when I lived there. As a doctor, a collected so many books I didn’t have time to read. Then the coronavirus pandemic came and I promised to myself I would live in the best way I could if I survived afterwards.
I read this book after the coronavirus pandemic.
I hardly recommend this book. The way love and death were combined on it, only a very good writer could have done in a special way it was made. It warmed my soul.
