Goodreads description:
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.

This was also funny and sarcastic (like The Wedding People), but not quite as memorable. In fact, I read it so long ago that I don’t even remember it and am relying on my notes for this review. About the aftermath of being dumped, it was a little downtrodden and depressing in parts. I did enjoy all of the British colloquialisms though…and it had a tidy, happy(ish) ending.

I really liked this book. It’s about the end of a relationship, depressing in some ways, but uplifting in others. Kind of like a male version of Bridget Jones’ Diary. The character development is excellent, and things (and people) are not always what they seem. This is a quick and entertaining read.
