Number One bestselling author Mike Gayle returns with this wickedly observed novel about modern relationships: does Mr Irresponsible have what it takes to become Mr Commitment?

Duffy is engaged. He accepted Mel''s proposal. But the trips to IKEA, dinner parties for couples and talk of babies are giving him itchy feet and now he''s not sure if he can say goodbye to his extended adolescence and face up to that final walk down the aisle.

How does he know if she''s The One? Can he cope with responsibility? Does he have what it takes to become Mr Commitment? Because if he doesn''t, he may just find that he''s lost Mel - forever...

Industry Reviews
Praise for 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 'A soulful romance and wry comedy that stops comfortably short of the sentimental' Birmingham Evening Mail '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 on MR COMMITMENT 'Uputdownable...coloured with cool, rueful wit' -- She '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 'Comic...fizzy.
