Luke Greenwood, ex-journalist turned cafe owner, is in crisis. His wife of 32 years, Selena, is leaving him for a much younger man. Luke can either let the end of his relationship make him bitter, or he can use it as a catalyst to improve his life. He's just not quite sure which way he wants to go.
Industry Reviews

Beautifully observed and written. Warm, witty and wise with characters so vivid and authentic, you are sure you must have been to Ernies cafe. If you enjoyed Matt Haig's The Humans, you'll love this.


Superbly lean and muscular. It's smart, it's fast and it bites down hard.


A gorgeous, bittersweet novel about love, separation and the infinite possibilities for human disappointment that families can yield.


Stephen May writes about masculinity like no-one else. I loved it.


A sharply observed account of the worst few days of one man's life. Wry, entertaining, and ultimately hopeful.


Reminiscent of David Nicholls' Us seen through a grittier, working class lens.


A warm-hearted book from the Costa Novel Award shortlisted author.

* 8 Beach Reads 2019, Sunday Mirror (Notebook Magazine) *

'Thoughtful, funny - and very human, this is a hugely enjoyable and rewarding read.'

* The Yorkshire Post *

'Told with verve, wit and intelligence.'

* Love Sunday Magazine (Sunday People) *

'Gritty and sentimental, sad and funny, and defies category or genre.'

* On: Yorkshire Magazine *

'One of those novels that grabs you and doesn't let go until the very end. May presents the difficult, hard-to-swallow moments in life in a profound and entertaining way.'
