Why read it?
4 authors picked You Are Here as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Another of my favourite authors - David Nicholls. I am always happy when I see he has a new book coming out, and pre-ordered You are Here so that I would be able to read it as soon as possible. It is a great book - down-to-earth and sad and frustrating as lots of David Nicholls' books can be. He writes a very good slightly hopeless but ultimately loveable male character, I think - and often puts them through situations where they stupidly are not open and honest but if they had been they'd have made things so much easier…
David Nicholls is a genius when it comes to creating characters you can instantly empathise with and root for. Marnie and Michael in 'You Are Here' are no exception and I loved following them on their epic walk and watching their relationship develop. Brilliant dialogue and fantastic scene-setting; for me this is David Nicholls' best book to date (and I've loved them all!).
It took me on a journey as I hiked across England, getting to know the landscape and the characters. I laughed and was deeply moved by the story.

It’s a poignant story that is also laugh out loud funny. It’s also about hiking the Coast to Coast Trail across England, which I did this summer.
