‘Gorgeous. Very, very funny in a knowing wry way but so tender, so beautiful. I loved all the characters.’ Marian Keyes
‘Warm, witty, touching – and frequently hilarious’ David Nicholls, author of Sweet Sorrow
‘You put the book down and feel glad to be alive’ India Knight, Sunday Times
Duncan is charming, handsome – and Jane falls in love with him easily.
But he has also slept with nearly every woman in Boyne City. Jane sees Duncan’s old girlfriends everywhere – at restaurants, at the grocery store and his ex-wife, Aggie, still has him mow her lawn.
But everything changes with one tragic accident. Now her life is permanently intertwined with them all and she knows she will never have Duncan to herself.
But is it possible that a deeper kind of happiness is right in front of her eyes?

Early Morning Riser
by Katherine Heiny
Review by Harriet
I couldn’t resist being drawn into the rhythms of the relatively unremarkable but unrelenting lives of Jane and Duncan in small town Michigan. Heiny is so brilliant at capturing the gentle drama, tenderness and joy of people, loving and failing each other; of friendships becoming family bonds. Her keen sense of the absurd and eye for hilarious detail keep it from becoming too saccharine. It’s deliciously sweet. A heart-warmer.
