Synopsis
'Touching, tender . . . filled with wonderful humour' Sarah Haywood
'A very special book' Katie Fforde
The Sunday Times bestselling novel, perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and The Rosie Project.
My name is Hope Nicely. Why am I writing this book? That's easy. This book is going to change my life.
My boss, Karen, says a friend is a stranger you haven't met yet. I think that's right. Veronica Ptitsky and Danny Flynn are strangers, except I have met them now because they 're in my writing class. But I don't want any friends, actually (only dog ones).
I have my mum, Jenny Nicely, who says adopting me was the best thing she ever did, even if my thoughts
bounce a bit differently to other people's
Except when my life does change it isn't because of my book but because something happens to my mum, Jenny Nicely, and she isn't here anymore. And, flip a pancake, I'm not very good at being on my own.
Maybe I do need some human friends after all . . .
'A gorgeous, funny, heartwarming read. Leaves you smiling' Ericka Walker, author of Dog Days

Hope Nicely's Lessons for Life is a sunburst of a story, full of love, kindness and one of the sweetest, most engaging central characters you're likely to meet. I was drawn in from the very first page by Caroline Day's sensitive portrayal of Hope Nicely's inner voice; as I followed Hope on her mission to make sense of the present, to uncover the past and to write her book, I found myself sharing in her triumphs and frustrations, her laughter and tears. It's a touching, tender story, but Hope Nicely's wonderful humour and delicious honesty mean that it's never sentimental. An absolute joySarah Haywood bestselling author of The Cactus
