'You Are Here' by bestseller David Nicholls is a novel of first encounters, second chances and finding the way home đź“š

Sometimes you need to get lost to find your way.
Marnie is stuck working alone in her London flat.
Michael is coming undone, reeling from his wife's departure.
When a persistent mutual friend and some very English weather conspire to bring them together, Marnie and Michael suddenly find themselves alone on the most epic of walks and on the precipice of a new friendship.

But can they survive the journey?
