Just Like You
Autor Nick Hornbyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 sep 2020
The person you are with is just like you: same background, same age, same interests. The perfect match. And it is a disaster.
Then, when and where you least expect it, you meet someone new. You seem to have nothing in common and yet, somehow, it feels totally right.
Nick Hornby's brilliantly observed, tender but also brutally funny new novel gets to the heart of what it means to fall surprisingly and headlong in love with the best possible person - someone who is not just like you at all.

Well-told, thoughtful, tenderand occasionallydevastatingly funnylove story
A charming - and sharp - love story about what it means to fall for someone who is your polar opposite
Frequently funny, consistently engaging ... it has great warmth in its heart
Hornby'shilarious and heart-wrenchingnew novel explores what it means to be somebody's perfect match, and why this notion of perfect compatibility is an absolute disaster when it comes to love
The capable crackle of his dialogue- honed by a string of successful screenwriting projects - propels the domestic drama forward at an easy pace, particularly effective in the voices of the children
The novel explores division and racism and has its share of sharp observations that help illuminate what it means to fall headlong in love with someone who is nothing like you at all
Nick Hornby writes so well about his characters . . .his most enjoyable book for some years
Hornby has always beena first-rate storytellerandJust Like You- just perfectly put together -sparkles with tip-top dialogue and pin-sharp comic timing
Truly funny. . . the novel gallops straight into something that isimmensely readable, sharp-eyedand at timeshilarious
A brilliant read full of his trademark wit and ability to get to the heart of human nature
Comedy for our times
Excellent
Tender and timely
Set in 2016 against the strident backdrop of the Brexit vote,Nick Hornby's warmhearted comedy chronicles the love story between a middle-aged white woman and a young black man,suggesting thatdifference needn't always be divisive: sometimes it can bring us together
Hornby's prose isartful and effortless, hisspiky wit as razored as a number-two cut
Hornby writes with afunny, fresh voice which skewers male and female foibles with hilarious accuracy
Hornby isa fine writer, swift and pointed,with a lighter, more mischievous heart than he lets on, and more sympathy for the devil than he admits to
