Summary

Nick Hornby: Just like you

Lucy didn't take too many risks in love. She chose a man similar to her - same age, same origin, same hopes and dreams; she married and started a family with him. It seemed like a good opportunity, but it afforded her more misery than joy. Now, two decades later, the couple is about to divorce, and Lucy is a forty-one-year-old teacher with two school-age sons, without any expectations of a future love life. That's why, when she meets Joseph, she's not really looking for love - it's more important for her to find a suitable babysitter. Joseph is twenty-two years old, lives with his mother and works several jobs, including the one at the butcher shop where he meets Lucy. No one would bet on this couple - they belong to a different social class, a different culture and a different generation. But sometimes the person who can make us the happiest turns out to be the one we least expect – although it takes a bit of maneuvering to get there. Just Like You is a brilliantly thought-out, gentle, but also brutally funny novel about headlong falling in love and unpredictable life turns, a human story that will make you laugh to tears and remind you how little is needed for happiness. Compact, full of life, with believable, vivid protagonists, this novel represents the perfect combination of what Nick Hornby is known for: imperfect characters you have to love and an original story that delights with its simplicity, while forcing you to imagine and recognize yourself in it.
