内容简介 · · · · · ·
Every relationship has one beginning. This one has two endings.
Andy loves Jen. Jen loved Andy. And he can’t work out why she stopped.
Now he is. . .
- Without a home
- Waiting for his stand-up career to take off
- Wondering why everyone else around him seems to have grown up while he wasn’t looking
Set adrift on the sea of heartbreak at a time when everything he thought he knew about women, and flat-sharing, and his friendships has transformed beyond recognition, Andy clings to the idea of solving the puzzle of their broken relationship. Because if he can find the answer to that, then maybe Jen can find her way back to him.
Andy still has a lot to learn, not least his ex-girlfriend’s side of the story.
在奥尔德顿这部轻快诙谐的小说中，一位35岁、事业不顺的伦敦喜剧演员试图从最近的分手中吸取教训，而与此同时，他的大多数朋友似乎都有稳定的恋情。小说中有激烈的对话、尴尬的初次约会和令人难忘的寻找新家过程；抛弃了老套的性别角色，传统的婚姻情节和平淡无奇的幸福生活。奥尔德顿不仅把自己塑造成了现代版的诺拉·艾芙隆，还在经典的浪漫喜剧形式上留下了自己的印记。《好素材》里没有次要角色；每个角色都大放异彩。一个意外的情节转折揭示了更深层次的信息，关乎独立、冒险和规划自己的人生道路。
