My new novel, Probably Nothing, is published TWO WEEKS TODAY, which means we are entering the ‘caps lock’ phase of book promotion, I HOPE THAT’S OK.

In the spirit of recycling – but also enticing – I’d love to share a little amuse bouche today in the form of an EXCLUSIVE extract.

Some people might share the first chapter. Some might say that’s logical. But instead here is chapter three, ‘A remarkable man’, because at this establishment you’ll get what you’re given in whatever order it comes out. I am, though, going to endeavour not to serve it in the way I serve actual food, which is with a flurry of apologies and pointing out all ways things went wrong in the kitchen.

All you need to know is this: Bryony has been casually and sporadically hooking up with Ed, a pleasant but unremarkable man she met on a dating app. Feeling lukewarm about him, she had decided not to see Ed again – which has just been made significantly easier by a phone call telling her that he has died.

PLEASE ENJOY. …
