Description:
This rare, uncorrected proof copy is an early edition of David Nicholls's bestselling novel, printed for reviewers and booksellers ahead of its official 2019 hardback release and subsequent paperback editions. The story is a coming-of-age tragicomedy that follows sixteen-year-old Charlie Lewis during the eventful summer of 1997. Charlie, who is struggling with his parents' recent divorce, an uncertain future, and a depressed father, meets the enchanting Fran Fisher. In order to get closer to her, he finds himself joining a summer drama production of Romeo and Juliet, which forces him to confront his fears and prejudices. The book is a tender, funny, and insightful exploration of first love, friendship, and the difficult transition to adulthood. This paperback proof copy, with its uncorrected text, offers a unique glimpse into the book's development before its publication.
