My Legendary Girlfriend
Mike Gayle
Formats & Editions
Celebrate Mike Gayle's 25th year of publishing with this special anniversary edition of his first ever novel!
Meet Will Kelly. English teacher. Film Fan. Pot Noodle expert. Ex-boyfriend.
Still in love with The One, Will is desperate to discover if there can be An-Other One. In his decrepit flat where he can't even manage to cook spaghetti hoops without setting off the communal smoke alarm, his lifeline is the telephone. Will realises that with a single call, friends can either lift him from the depths of despair or completely shatter his hopes.
There's Alice (who remembers his birthday), Simon (who doesn't), Kate (the previous tenant of his rented hovel). And of course his ex, Aggi. The inimitable Aggi. His legendary Girlfriend.
Or is She?
A hilarious, original story for anyone who has ever been dumped, or lived in a dump, 'full of belly-laughs and painfully acute observations'. (Independent on Sunday)
