Books blend with life in quirky existential quest.

If you appreciate a bit of existential pondering mixed with humor and everyday life, "Cover to Cover" might just tickle your fancy. Tanya's journey blurs reality and fiction in such a relatable way—it's as if the books we cherish start writing us, instead of the other way around. The charming British backdrop and the wry look at love and friendship make this a compelling read for those who like their novels with a side of introspective wit.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Tanya Stephens is a 29-year-old graphic designer who works for Ill Will, a greeting card company founded on the principle that British people can be atrociously rude to their friends with impunity. Tanya herself is beginning not to see the point of having friends or even lovers. She has had one true love, and a series of boyfriends who have variously become too keen, too needy, or just mind-numbingly boring. She keeps Richard, her current boyfriend - a carpet-fitter - for sex but has encounters with Carl - a road-sweeper - because he shares her love of books. Tanya is happy with her books, the occasional episode of Frasier, and her own dark imagination. When Tanya finds a book ostensibly about her own life in a second-hand bookshop, the line between truth and reality begins to blur. Is her true love now happily married and working for the DVLA in Swansea? Did her mum sleep with her dad's best friend? On her quest to separate fact from fiction, Tanya is forced to question her place in the world and whether love can be a part of it.
