My next single will be a bit later this year but I wanted to share this with you now.The fans have seen so much and got to know us so well, but I’ve never really had a chance to be as honest like that with music. I really liked the age-divide relationship, and its representation really work"She was sleeping with someone who had been wearing nappies in the 1990s." Hornby is not an author who shys away from harder-hitting issues and that is really evidenced in this story both thanks to its setting and contents. So maybe that’s why this new novel and the last one of his that I read, Funny Girl, really hit my sweet spot. Joseph was handsome and thoughtful . The introduction is carefully plotted as we come to know each of the two in their separate lonely lives. Through the story Hornby explores the racist values that are held by some of the British publish and the prejudice that Lucy and Joseph face not only as a result Joseph dating a white woman but also as a result of their larger age gap. How do they get together? / I wanna be just like you / When I grow up, yes I do / I wanna be just like you / When I grow up, yes I do / I wanna be just like you / … So I approached "Just Like You" with a bit of trepidation. It’s quite light and easy to read although he speaks mostly about feelings and relationship in an interesting way.Just Like You is an interesting contemporary story following an interracial couple who are living in the difficult period in the run up to the EU Referendum. I wanted to like this.

A mismatched couple she’s in her 40s, divorced(well in the process of divorcing), white, college educated, upper middle class, and anti-brexit, he’s in his 20s, single, black, working class, and pro-brexit(by 2%).

As I continued to read, my feelings shifted. After a few conversations with the label I told them that I wanted to release it. Joseph was handsome and thoughtful . It’s a thoughtful romantic comedy, and if that’s a genre then it’s definitely one I really like, along of course with novels about unreliable, possibly psychotic, women (which this isn’t).Nick Hornby has a basic decency that enables him to tell the stories of all kinds of characters with humor and compassion. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the inclusion of politics (mostly Trump) and Brexit - I think many people may find this confronting and uncomfortable, especially if the conversa I do like Nick Hornby books. What makes this book a winner is the humor with which Hornby tells their story, , especially whenever Joseph has to figure out how the adult world works, I found myself underlining whole sections of sharp insightful observations. Sure, the topic of a Brexit has been dealt with before, but for me, Hornby has made a better fist of things than, say, Jonathan Coe, whose 'Middle England' was nominated for the Booker Prize last year. Lucy was spunky. I'm relieved to say the author I knew and loved is back. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

It's like coming home. Set against the backdrop of the 2016 referendum (Brexit) Set against the backdrop of the 2016 referendum (Brexit) For years, Nick Hornby was one of my favourite authors. Restored my faith in Nick Hornby.Reading a book by Hornby is like sinking into your most cozy reading chair. They envelop you like a glove and fill you up. I was captivated by the first part of Just Like You. It's like coming home. The sentiment is a fine one, although the book has to throw curveballs into the success of the relationship before it can be suggested the moral can be proven correct. He becomes her babysitter!This is a very enjoyable novel, and I don’t say that lightly. September 17th 2020 The sentiment is a fine one, although the book has to throw curveballs into the success of the relationship before it can be suggested the moral can be proven correct.
