A funny book by the comedian Bob Mortimer. I strongly recommend the audiobook version as it is narrated by the author (and  Sally Phillips ) and we can better understand the sense of humour in it. 

It's a solid book, I think it doesn't bring anything new narrative-wise and found the romantic plot very unrealistic and even somewhat stalkerish (I initially thought that would be the plot) but still it a pleasant read overall.
