'Can I explain why I wanted to jump off the top of a tower block?' For disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp the answer's pretty simple: he has, in his own words, 'pissed his life away'. And on New Year's Eve, he's going to end it all . . . But not, as it happens, alone. Because first single-mum Maureen, then eighteen-year-old Jess and lastly American rock-god JJ turn up and crash Martin's private party. They've stolen his idea - but brought their own reasons. Yet it's hard to jump when you've got an audience queuing impatiently behind you. A few heated words and some slices of cold pizza later and these four strangers are suddenly allies. But is their unlikely friendship a good enough reason to carry on living? 'Extremely funny . . . and wise' Sunday Times 'A page-turning plot and rich, funny characters with several big laughs on every page . . . Hornby's best yet.' Literary Review 'Hornby pins down the age in which we live with precision and comic brilliance.' Guardian 'Hugely enjoyable.' Irish Times 'Masterful . . . some of the finest writing, and some of the most outstanding characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading.' Johnny Depp
