The new book from award-winning writer and comedian Mark Watson. As James boards the sleeper train to Edinburgh on a Saturday evening, he sends a message to everyone in his phone contacts list, to tell them all that he plans to end his life in the morning. James then turns his phone off job done. But for friends, family and near-strangers across the world, receiving this shocking message is only the beginning of their journeys. What follows is a heart-breaking portrayal of how lonely one can feel in a very connected world yet those around us are just a text away. Praise for the author: Funny, sharply observed and unexpectedly moving The Times Hugely recommended. Gentle, compassionate, unusual and thought-provoking Chris Cleave A pitch-perfect tragicomedy of ordinary and not so ordinary family life Jonathan Coe A beautifully observed, touching and funny book of considerable power A.
