The Random Book Club - Good Material by Dolly Alderton

Join us for a much-requested evening book club. We will be reading a wide variety of books new and old.

This month we will discuss the book Good Material by Dolly Alderton. The romantic comedy was written from the man's perspective and this month a fellow book nerd hosts the meeting, Patrick Pezelj! 

Good Material -

Andy loves Jen. Jen loved Andy. And he can't work out why she stopped.
Now he is. . .
Without a home.
Waiting for his stand-up career to take off.
Wondering why everyone else around him seems to have grown up while he wasn't looking.

Set adrift on the sea of heartbreak, Andy clings to the idea of solving the puzzle of his ruined relationship. Because if he can find the answer to that, then maybe Jen can find her way back to him. But Andy still has a lot to learn, not least his ex-girlfriend's side of the story…

In this sharply funny and exquisitely relatable story of romantic disaster and friendship, Dolly Alderton offers up a love story with two endings, demonstrating once again why she is one of the most exciting writers today, and the true voice of a generation.

“Like Nora Ephron, with a British twist….Delivers the most delightful aspects of classic romantic comedy—snappy dialogue, realistic relationship dynamics, humorous meet-cutes and misunderstandings—and leaves behind the clichéd gender roles and traditional marriage plot.”
