Book Overview: No 1 bestselling author of MY LEGENDARY GIRLFRIEND returns with this wickedly observed second novel about modern relationships: does Mr Irresponsible have what it takes to become Mr Commitment?
'Something near to mid-period Woody Allen...a delicate blend of realism and whimsy...funny and clever...refreshing to find a male writer working in this genre'
Guardian
'Told in an easy, chatty style..the lighter moments in Mr Commitment say more about what's wrong with the modern twentysomething male than any amount of earnest introspection ever could'
Express
'Uputdownable...coloured with cool, rueful wit'
She
'Would you swap your fridge full of beer and an eclectic record collection for trips to Ikea and a series of dull dinner parties? Would you hell!'
Pick of the Week, Marie Claire
'Gayle's book has the ability to touch the parts other books fail to reach...the funny bits will make you laugh out loud while the beautiful moments will make you remember all those you've loved before...Unmissable'
B-Magazine
'Incredibly successful...it's so rare to find a man writing easy-reading books about relationships'
The Oxford Times
