About this title

Synopsis

For fans of David Nicholls, a brilliantly funny and touching new novel from the bestselling author of HOW TO TALK TO A WIDOWER, selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club.

Meet Silver. Forty-four, divorced and living alone. His once celebrated music career is now a faded memory and his ex-wife is about to marry another man. The only good thing in Silver''s life is his Princeton-bound teenage daughter, Casey - and she would probably say the exact opposite about him. So in Silver''s opinion, things could be going better ... a lot better.

Then Casey drops a bombshell: she''s pregnant. Yes, it was her first time, and, no, she hasn''t told her mom. Silver knows things have got to change, and when he discovers he has a fatal heart condition that means he could drop dead at any minute, he decides it''s time to make a list:

1. Be a better father
2. Be a better man
3. Fall in love
4. Die

But the question is, can Silver rebuild his life, regain the respect of his family, and be there for Casey when she needs him most, or has he left it all too late?
