' Such a warm, uplifting read. It' s a celebration of the bond we have with our oldest friends, and it' s so funny' Beth O' Leary' A brilliant, funny, insightful exploration of friendship, which properly made me laugh and cry' Laura Marshall---------Theo has been living in his parents' shed, nursing a broken heart and a wounded ego, convinced life can' t get any worse. Then he gets evicted on his 30th birthday. Theo thinks he' s done with the real world - until it shows up on his doorstep. . . Joel is a successful TV scriptwriter, still in love with his teenage sweetheart. A proper grown-up - and yet he' s falling apart at the seams. He' s headed home to reconnect with best friend Theo - except they haven' t spoken since the summer they turned 16. One of them is keeping a secret, and the other is living a lie. But can the promise they once made to walk all 184 miles of the Thames Path help them find their way back to the truth - and to their friendship? A tender and funny story about wanting to go back - when you know it' s time to move on. ---------' An uplifting and redemptive journey' Steven Rowley' A beautifully bittersweet tale about the enduring power of friendship, reminding us how sometimes the best way to face life' s biggest challenges is to take them one step at a time with your best friend by your side' Oliver Sands' An absorbing and heartfelt tale of past mistakes and friendship lost but never forgotten. A joyful summer read' Owen Nicholls---------Your favourite authors loved reading Richard Roper' s uplifting first novel, Something to Live For:' A magnificent read. Tender, funny, compelling' Lucy Foley' Funny, moving and thought-provoking - I loved this' Clare Mackintosh' I adored this! It warmed my heart, broke it a little, then put it back together' Beth O' Leary' Funny, fresh and achingly tender. Richard' s writing hooked me in from the very first page' Cathy Bramley' A life-affirming novel that simultaneously tweaks your funny-bone and tugs at your heartstrings. Brilliant!' Matt Dunn' It pulls you in, makes you laugh and breaks your heart' Gill Hornby
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG is such a warm, uplifting read. It' s a celebration of the bond we have with our oldest friends, and it' s so funny, without ever losing its poignancy - Richard Roper writes humour so brilliantly. * Beth O' Leary * Following up the wonderfully heartwarming ' Something To Live For' , Richard Roper is two for two with ' When We Were Young' , an equally absorbing and heartfelt tale of past mistakes and friendship lost but never forgotten. Wholly relatable, with a compelling central pair, this novel will take you back to your past and might make you think about making some changes to your present. A joyful summer read. * Owen Nicholls, author of LOVE, UNSCRIPTED *
