The Man Booker Prize-longlisted follow-up to the multimillion-copy bestselling ONE DAY. Jojo Moyes says, 'I loved this book. Funny, sad, tender: for anyone who wants to know what happens after the Happy Ever After.'
David Nicholls is the bestselling author of US, ONE DAY, STARTER

Mulligan). He has twice been BAFTA nominated and his recent
adaptation of Patrick Melrose from the novels by Edward St Aubyn
won him an Emmy nomination.
His bestselling first novel, STARTER FOR TEN, was selected for the
Richard and Judy Book Club in 2004, and in 2006 David went on to
write the screenplay of the film version.
His third novel, ONE DAY, was published in 2009 to extraordinary
critical acclaim, and stayed in the Sunday Times top ten bestseller
list for ten weeks on publication. ONE DAY won the 2010 Galaxy Book
of the Year Award.
David's fourth novel, US, was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize
for Fiction 2014 and was another no. 1 Sunday Times bestseller. In
2014, he was named Author of the Year at the National Book Awards.
I was having to ration myself for fear of coming to the end too
soon.
*Mail on Sunday*
The kind of book that reminds us what it means to be alive.
*Good Housekeeping*
US is a perfect book.
*Independent*
This very funny, wise and bittersweet novel was in my view even
more enjoyable than Nicholls' previous bestseller One Day.
*Daily Express*
As he proved in One Day, Nicholls is brilliant at picking apart
modern life with all its hopes, disillusionments and regrets, and
marrying it to a gently heartbreaking narrative.
