With this charming, slightly twisted comic novel about an endearing loser’s convoluted plot to turn a brief chance meeting into a once-in-a-lifetime love affair, Wallace proves he has ample heart to go along with the humor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003eJason Priestley (no, not \u003cem\u003ethat\u003c\/em\u003e Jason Priestley) is in a rut. He gave up his teaching job to write snarky reviews of cheap restaurants for the free newspaper you take but don't read.

What for a fleeting moment felt like a beginning is cruelly cut short—until Jason realizes that he's been left holding a disposable camera. And suddenly, with prodding and an almost certainly disastrous offer of assistance from his socially inept best friend Dev, a coincidence-based, half-joking idea—What \u003cem\u003eif\u003c\/em\u003e he could track this girl down based on the photos in her camera?—morphs into a full-fledged quest to find the woman of Jason's dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Another comedy masterpiece.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookseller (London), on FRIENDS LIKE THESE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Unmissable... will have you laughing out loud and melt your heart, all at once.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan (UK)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“One of Britain’s great writing talents.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGQ (UK)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“An amusing tale of an innocuous stalker.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Delightful . . . witty . . .
