Nothing Man by R J Gould

Blurb

One man in need of an overhaul. Two women determined to drag him there.

Neville Watkin’s life is so rubbish surely things can’t get any worse. Yes they can, because his wife leaves him, he loses his job, has a car crash and ends up in hospital.

Feisty Laura, the other party in the car crash, befriends him and sets out to turn his life upside down. For reasons he struggles to understand, Caroline, her equally feisty mother, seems to like him. Rather a lot.

All in all things are looking up, but is Neville courageous enough to seize these new opportunities?

Review

I love a story from the bloke's point of view, and a middle aged bloke at that! Neville is an absolute sweetie and it was a joy to accompany him on his journey.

He has a dry sense of humour, is wonderfully naïve in some respects, is self-deprecating, and all I wanted to do was to give him a cuddle.

The two women who were instrumental in bringing him out of himself, are an absolute hoot, and if either of them need a friend I'll happily send them my details! As for the scrapes Neville gets into, they are hilarious.

Well written and funny, this book is a must-read of you like a romcom with a difference
