•James a Danny
•James ktorý prišiel o všetko keď po napadnutí v bare utrpel vážne poranenie mozgu. Danny ktorý po zomretí jeho sestry ukončil štúdium a začal piť, následkom čoho ho tehotná priateľka opustila. Prestal navštevovať rodičov
•Jamesova sestra zarezervovala ich rodičom plavbu a Jamesa na týždeň poslala do centra pre chorých kým budú preč
•Jeden z opatrovateľov bol Danny, ktorý bol bývalim spolužiakom Jamesa v súkromnej škole
•James Dannyho po pár dňoch spoznal a prihovoril sa mu ale Danny sa tváril že sa nepoznajú
•James sa ale nevzdával a snažil sa donútiť priznať pravdu
•Danny to nakoniec vzdal a priznal sa
•James prinútil Dannyho vziať ho na pivo do krčmy, ušli z centra a po prvom pive a balíku chipsov sa tam objavili Jamesovi rodičia
•Dannyho vyhodili z práce a James bol nahnevaný na rodičov
•James vymyslel plán, chcel aby sa Danny stal jeho opatrovateľom, chcel sa odsťahovať od rodičov a pokúsiť sa vrátiť do normálneho života
•Danny to neprijal ale po naliehani jeho sestry sa dohodli že to aspoň skúsi
•Danny sa staral o Jamesa, stali sa z nich veľmi dobrý priatelia
•Konal sa spomienkový ples v ich bývalej vysokej škole na ktorý sa rozhodli ísť. Bola tam aj Jamesova bývala priateľka s ktorou sa rozišiel po nehode a nevidel ju niekoľko rokov.
•James začal chodiť do podpornej skupiny kde spoznal jedno dievča
•Po čase sa do seba zaľúbili
•Danny kontaktoval bývalú frajarku, že chce spoznať svoju dcéru či mu dajú šancu, dopadlo to však neúspešne. Tak sa rozhodol že skontaktuje rodičov ktorých nevidel niekoľko rokov. Rodičia ho s laskou a pochopením priali späť. Po ťažkých a dlhých týždňoch si to ale dcéra rozmyslela a predsa sa s Dannym stretla
•James sa pohádal s priateľkou no neskôr sa udobrili a začali spolu bývať a išli na prvú spoločnú dovolenku aj s jej rodičmi (keďže obaja mali brain damage)
•Danny si našiel inú prácu a svoje vlastné bývanie

To me this was reminiscent of Me before you, by Jojo Moyes. I loved that so this one slightly missed compared to that one, but nevertheless was very good reading and quite inspirational.

Beautifully written. I was drawn in from the start and had a hard time putting this book down. One of my favourites of the year.

Hi :)
This is my first review ever written, but I'd like to include this into my habits, so maybe you care, if not, just go ahead.
It was a real pleasure to read this book. I bought this book just out of pure curiosity. As I bought it, the only thing I knew about it was the title and the reviews it recieved in this app. I started the book, without even knowing what it was all about, and let me tell you what pleasure it was to read it.
At first, I had some trouble getting behind the story of Danny Allen and James De Witt, but as soon as I got into it, I just loved it from the beginning to the end. James and Danny meet in a care home, where James is about to spend his next two weeks, as his parents are on a vacation. James needs to be taken care of since "The Incident", since when he is suffering from an ABI (acquired brain injury). The funny thing is, James and Danny know each other, and even though Danny does not want to admit this in the beginning, he eventually confesses that he indeed knows James as well. Both remember the old times, and an in the beginning very stupid idea coming from James, will turn into one of the most beautiful friendship that ever existed for both of them.
Heartwarming, moodlifting and just beautifully written, "The Man I Think I Know" quickly turned out to be the best book to beginn my reading challenge of 2021.

Really love Mike Gayle’s writing style - it especially shows in this book with the difference between James and Danny’s chapters. Such a lovely heartwarming book.
