The first adult novel from the million-copy bestselling, prize-winning author of How I Live Now is a blisteringly funny, touching story of a man whose love life is going to the dogs.

Jonathan Trefoil's boss is unhinged, his relationship baffling and his apartment just the wrong side of legal. His girlfriend wants to marry someone just like him - only richer and more organised with a different sense of humour. On the plus side, his two flatmates are determined to fix his life - or possibly to destroy it altogether. It's difficult to be certain as they only speak dog.

Poor Jonathan. He doesn't remember life being this confusing back in the good old days before everyone expected him to act like a person. But one thing he knows for sure: if he can make it in New York City, he can make it anywhere. Will he get out of advertising, meet the girl of his dreams and figure out the gender of his secret crush?

Given how it's going so far, probably not.

"Hilarious, thoughtful, touching"
Daily Mail 

"Surreal, charming and very, very funny"
Daily Express

"Like Ephron, Rosoff has a lightness of touch, and is also a clever comic writer: her dialogue is sharp, her characters keenly observed and ruthlessly well realise"
Sunday Times

"A loveable novel that has the power to make readers of all ages laugh"
The Times

"Fizzes with memorable one-liners...I can't think of many recent novels that show the same almost Joseph Heller-like ability to express abiding pessimism with such irresistible comic zest"
Daily Telegraph
