Description
From the million-copy bestselling author comes a brutally funny novel about finding love when you least expect it.
Lucy married just the sort of man you might expect—a university graduate who runs his own business. Unfortunately, he turned out to have serious dependency issues.
Joseph is shaking off the memory of his last date, a girl who ticked all the right boxes and also drove him up the wall.
On an average Saturday morning in a butcher's shop in North London, Lucy and Joseph meet on opposite sides of the counter. She is a teacher and mother of two, with a past she is trying to forget; he is an aspiring DJ with a wide-open future that maybe needs to start becoming more focused. Lucy and Joseph are opposites in almost all ways. Can something life-changing grow from uncommon ground?
Nick Hornby's brilliantly observed, tender, and brutally funny new novel gets to the heart of what it means to fall headlong in love with the best possible person—someone who may not be just like you at all.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Just Like You by Nick Hornby is widely praised for being sharp, charming, and upbeat, offering a well-told, thoughtful, and occasionally devastatingly funny love story. Many reviews highlight its engaging nature, warmth, and the effective use of dialogue, particularly with the children's voices. The novel is set against the backdrop of the Brexit vote, exploring themes of division and racism, while also focusing on the paradox of falling in love with someone completely different. It's noted for its artful prose, spiky wit, and ability to get to the heart of human nature, making it a brilliantly entertaining read.
