About this listen

Some people just look destined for great things. And sometimes, life has other ideas.

Ever since The Incident, James DeWitt has stayed on the safe side. He likes to know what happens next.

Danny Allen is not on the safe side. He is more past the point of no return. But it's funny the way life is sometimes. Just when you think you know how everything is, it surprises you.

And redemption can come in the most unlikely forms....

Warm, witty and wise, Mike Gayle's new novel is a powerful story of male friendship and what we mean by success, reminding us of the simple courage at the heart of every human life.

Brilliant!

This is one of the best novels I have read in years!

The story evolves around two main characters who cannot be more different from one another but in a way also share similarities. This book tells stories happening around ordinary families, their day to day life, their ups and downs -- sounds mundane but yet keeps you on your toes the whole time!

Apart from superb story telling, I somehow also find the book quite enlightening -- niceness and compassion can go a long way!

Easy listening and inspirational

I didn't love this audible book, but did enjoy listening to it on my daily commute. Inspirational in storyline, which was well read by using the voice of the person affected by a life changing accident. Real easy listening story.

Fantastic

What a beautiful book. The narrators were fantastic. The one accent was a bit peculiar to me, but i really , really enjoyed them all after 1st chapter. as a feel-good book this is honestly one of my best and i really wanted to know how life was going to pan out for both of the men. Uplifting and definitely worth a read. Funny , sad , happy. Loved it.

Fantastic book

what a clever book, written so you could exactly understand the troubles someone with a traumatic brain injury and their family/friends experience. I was rooting for Danny and James, great characters with many heartfelt issues entwined. Gutted when it ended!
