*The deliciously entertaining new novel from the award-winning writer and comedian, MARK WATSON*

'Funny and thought-provoking' ADAM HILLS

'A heartwarming story of happenstance' iPAPER

---------------

That's three sashimi rolls. Two vegetable dumplings. One life-changing encounter. Your delivery is on its way ...

For delivery rider Damir, time is money.

He races through cycle lanes next to Uber drivers and grocery vans, delivering your every desire. He arrives with your sushi rolls and pizzas and disappears into the night - Ping! Onto the next drop.

He is invisible: one player in the boardgame of the city.

But one summer's evening, in a postcode that could be another universe, Damir arrives on Decca's doorstep and there's an immediate connection between them.

The man on the bike crosses the divide - suddenly fully seen. And a throwaway delivery sparks a chain of events that will change all their lives, forever.

Praise for Mark Watson:

'One of my favourite writers' Adam Kay

'Funny, heart wrenching, beautifully written' Jane Fallon

'Funny and serious and daring and humane. I prefer Mark Watson to Leo Tolstoy - both as a novelist and a stand-up comedian' Richard Curtis
