Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Listening time: 8 hours and 27 minutes. From the internationally bestselling and Booker Prize-longlisted author of One Day, one of the most enduring love stories of its generation, comes an uplifting and unputdownable love story about second chances. Sometimes you need to get lost to find your way... Michael is coming undone. Adrift after his wife’s departure, he has begun taking himself on long, solitary walks across the English countryside. Becoming ever more reclusive, he’ll do anything to avoid his empty house. Marnie, on the other hand, is stuck. Hiding alone in her London flat, she avoids old friends and any reminders of her rotten, selfish ex-husband. Curled up with a good book, she’s battling the long afternoons of a life that feels like it’s passing her by. When a persistent mutual friend and some very unpredictable weather conspire to toss Michael and Marnie together on the most epic of ten-day hikes, neither of them can think of anything worse. Until, of course, they discover exactly what they’ve been looking for. Michael and Marnie are on the precipice of a bright future... if they can survive the journey. A hilarious, hopeful, and heartwarming love story—the novel beloved New York Times bestselling author David Nicholls calls “my funniest book yet”—You Are Here is a bittersweet and hopeful story of first encounters, second chances, and finding the way home.

    Romantic litfic about two single and lonely people, Marnie (a copywriter) and Michael (a geography teacher) who meet each other during a hiking trip from coast to coast in England. 

    I really liked this wholesome, gentle story. 
    There was some great themes that were really well written about  loneliness, relationships, loss, marriage, social expectations, nature etc. The writing especially the English countryside descriptions was lovely to read. 
    Both main characters were sweet and I loved their discussions, how they respected each other, listening to one another, etc loved how the hiking mirrored their relationship growth, though I wasn’t completely swept away by their story, emotionally speaking. 
    The plot was straightforward and without much tension and yearning, especially the ending, which is my usual preferences, so this book made for a very charming and relaxing read if a bit too dull for my taste. 
    I’ll probably check out this author’s books in the future.
