For disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp the answer's pretty simple:he has,in his own words,‘issed his life away’.And on New Year's Eve he's going to end it all …But not,as it happens,alone.Because first single-mum Maureen,then eighteen-year-old Jess and lastly American rock-god JJ turn up and crash Martin's private party.They've stolen his idea-but brought their own reasons.
Yet it's hard to jump when you've got an audience queuing impatiently behind you.A few heated words and some slices of cold pizza later and these four strangers are suddenly allies.But is their unlikely friendship a good enough reason to carry on living?
‘Hornby pins down the age in which we live with precision and comic brilliance’.

在audible上听完了,四位读得太有意思了,把原文幽默风趣的一面展现出来了,以及Jess的口音有些为难我了lol 因为对”Angle Damon”印象深刻,又把原文找出翻看了几眼,发现提及一些乐队的地方书上和audible版有几处不同,也不知道为什么(我好无聊…)

Probably company is the only answer. When you in your mind have someone else’s problems to think about, when you have them listening to your problems, the answer does not matter anymore. (展开)
