Title: Taking the "Chick Lit" Genre to a New Level
Review: What a gem! Mike Gayle is a talented writer who has written a story that is part Nick Hornby and part Marian Keyes. Dave Harding is a typical guy who is happy with his life. He loves his wife and his career, but he soon finds himself the agony uncle at a teen magazine after his music mag folds. This is when the real story takes root. Dave receives a letter from a young woman who believes he is her father. The events that unfold are funny, touching, and told from a refreshingly male perspective. I really like this character, and Gayle tells his story beautifully and without the requisite fluff. I recommend this book to readers looking for a fresh point of view from a writer who will surely become one you will often read.
