Some people just look destined for great things. And sometimes, life has other ideas.

Ever since The Incident, James DeWitt has stayed on the safe side.

He likes to know what happens next.

But it's funny the way life is sometimes. Just when you think you know how everything is, it surprises you.

And redemption can come in the most unlikely forms . . .

Warm, witty and wise, Mike Gayle's new novel is a powerful story of male friendship and what we mean by success, reminding us of the simple courage at the heart of every human life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

That rarest of things; a moving, beautifully written novel about male friendship. The Man I Think I Know is a truthful, wise and wonderfully redemptive story about men stripped bare of the traditional ideals of masculinity - success, strength, power - learning to face up to the real world. I absolutely loved it. (Lisa Jewell)

The Man I Think I Know by Mike Gayle is amazing! Really uplifting and a jolly good read to boot (Katie Fforde)

Beautifully written, thought-provoking and completely charming. Mike does a wonderful job of tackling a tricky subject (ABI) with sensitivity, wit and humour. His story reminds us that the everyday things we take for granted without realising how precious they are, can be snatched away in an instant with catastrophic consequences. But I think the thing that struck me most about this book were the voices of Danny Allen and James DeWitt. They were pitch-perfect and helped to create a pair of characters I was rooting for from the start and cheering for by the end. (Ruth Hogan)

Loved this novel - insightful, moving and funny. Read it (Freya North)

Mike is always wise and wonderful, but this is a whole new departure for him - read it! (Jenny Colgan)

A very special book. A moving, thought-provoking storyline told with humour and insight. I loved the distinctive voices of James and Danny and really missed them when I finished it! (Tracy Rees)

The Man I Think I Know is gloriously good. Touching, uplifting, brave and funny, it's a story of life, second chances and daring to believe in better things. James and Danny's friendship is beautifully portrayed: I was rooting for them from the start and cheering them to the finish. I defy anyone not to fall in love with this book. Downright wonderful! (Miranda Dickinson)

Mike Gayle is the king of touching, human stories, and this big-hearted book is his best yet. 5*

Heartfelt tale of bravery

I might be a bit biased as Mike Gayle is one of my most favourite authors. I have always enjoyed the way his characters are so easily relatable and interesting. I also enjoy the authenticity of the story and the level of understanding of the situations the characters find themselves in.
