Do you know your desert-island,all-time,top five most memorable split-ups
Rob does. He keeps a list,in fact. But Laura isn't on it - even though she's just become his latest ex. He's got his life back,you see. He can just do what he wants when he wants: like listen to whatever music he likes,look up the girls that are on his list,and generally behave as if Laura never mattered. But Rob finds he can't move on. He's stuck in a really deep groove - and it's called Laura. Soon,he's asking himself some big questions: about love,about life - and about why we choose to share ours with the people we do.
High Fidelity explores the world of break-ups,make-ups and what it is to be in love. This astutely observed and wickedly funny book will be enjoyed by readers of David Nicholls and William Boyd,and by generations of readers to come.
