About this listen

What do you do when the doctor says you could die at any moment? Well...after you’ve made a cup of tea, of course.

Nathan James is young, successful and has the world at his feet. Unfortunately, he’s also about to die - which ruins things somewhat. And now he’s staring imminent death in the face, Nathan is having to rethink some of his life choices very hard.

This means embarking on a hectic journey of self-discovery that includes, amongst other things, losing his dignity to an inescapable bean bag, suffering screaming nightmares about a monstrous potato, and getting up close and very personal with a bipolar donkey.

All of which is fine, but then Nathan falls in love with a charming girl called Alison, which is a really stupid thing to do. Because how can you give your heart to someone when it might be about to stop?

From Nick Spalding, the bestselling author of Fat Chance, Bricking It and Mad Love, comes a comedy about dying - which is easy - and living, which is most certainly not.

Really lovely, really funny. Heartfelt and good fun. My personal niggle is that sometimes I forgot the character was only 33 because the voice actor sounded older than this.

Hilariously Outrageous

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, however the ending was rather blunt and got a little too much involved with the moral of the story... That aside, it makes a serious topic light hearted and funny

Had me in tears (of laughter!)

Made me cringe and laugh out loud. Some of the language was unnecessary. An honest approach to a difficult subject.

Laugh out loud in spite of the serious subject

This was such a great book to listen to. I loved that it combined such a serious and personal struggel with the universal experiences we all have, making it sad and funny and so easy to relate to.

Captivating story telling and narration!
