"'For so long we'd been on the same path together. But somehow, along the way, I turned around and Genevieve kept going.' Charlie, a prime-time radio producer in her early thirties, has always had a big group of friends - until she left her husband, and they all sided with him. Now she finds herself floundering in a sea of awkward run-ins and silent group chats. When her best friend Genevieve starts moving on with her life, too, Charlie realises how few significant people she has around her, and what a lonely place that can be. Dreading the prospect of returning to her childhood home for the anniversary of her father's death, she busies herself by seeking new friendships - book clubs, pub crawls, team sports, the works.

For fans of Dolly Alderton and Zo� Foster-Blake, Isn't It Nice We Both Hate the Same Things is a bitingly witty yet moving take on the struggles of maintaining relationships and creating new ones as an adult - a story that ultimately celebrates the importance and complexities of best friends."
