A debut that took Great Britain by storm, My Legendary Girlfriend introduced the world to the loveable, lovestruck Will Kelly.

It's been three years since his heartthrob, Agnes, wrecked his life with a chat that started, "It's like that song. 'If you love somebody, set him free.'" But no matter how much time goes by, Will doesn't feel very free. He still makes lists of each birthday present Aggi ever gave him, has gymnastic fantasies about a perfect reunion night with her, dwells on the first words she uttered to him.

How long can a person stay down in the dumps after being dumped? And how much longer before Will dumps Martina, the sweet but clingy girl he's seeing? Will anyone ever measure up to his Legendary Girlfriend?

Fresh, endearing, and full of humor, My Legendary Girlfriend tells a story that will ring true for everyone who's ever tried to mend a broken heart.

"A delicate blend of realism and whimsy... funny and clever."

"Funny, sharply observed, and right in tune with aging adolescents desperately clinging to the wreckage of their youth."
   MARIE CLAIRE

"Isn't it nice to be reminded that men face the breakup blues, too? This book delivers all the testosterone laden details with enough humor to keep you turning the pages."

"Mike Gayle has carved a whole new literary niche out of the male confessional novel. He's a publishing phenomenon."
