Flip Side, The

Produktbeschreibung

Penny wise or pound foolish? A heartbroken young Brit decides to turn his love life over to the flip of a coin?in this delightfully British rom-com in the vein of Jenny Colgan, Rosie Curtis, Nick Hornby, and David Nicholls.

To coin a phrase, Josh is suffering a quarter-life crisis. He just broke up with his long-term girlfriend, lost his job, and moved back home with his parents (shudder). Welcome to rock bottom in Bristol. As Josh starts questioning all his life choices, he has a mad thought: Maybe he would just be better flipping a coin. After all, careful planning has landed him homeless, jobless, and single.

What starts as a joke soon becomes serious and Josh decides to start putting his faith in the capriciousness of currency. He doesn't have anything to lose.

But when the chance of a lifetime and the girl of his dreams are on the line, will the coin guide him to a rich love life or leave him flat broke?

Complete with fabulous sidekicks, quirky neighbors, and an eccentric but lovable family, it features an authentic and refreshing hero. Fans of Beth O'Leary and Nick Hornby will relish every delightful moment." - Library Journal

"Romcom fans will fall in love with the cheeky charm and wry wit of Bailey's infectiously fun debut, which offers readers a delightfully bloke-centered counterpart to Bridget Jones and her diary."
