Six Numbers

By DAVID NOLLIS

Jake Hastings just won ten million quid. He's also just lost the love of his life.

So what does a newly minted millionaire in a damp flat with no milk and a heartbreak hangover do? Well, if you're Jake, you absolutely don't tell anyone. Especially not your ex-wife, Alex. That would be too easy. No, you decide to win her back the honest way-by pretending you're still the same broke, slightly dishevelled idiot she left - only better. Improving.
Armed with a lad-shaped support network of pub philosophers, wildly misguided plans, and a secret bank account fatter than a Christmas turkey, Jake embarks on "Operation Win Her Back." Step one: no grand gestures. Step two: absolutely no speedboats. Step three: don't cock it all up.

Unfortunately, Jake is a man genetically engineered to cock it all up.

What follows is a gloriously sweary, unexpectedly tender rom-com of curry houses, spin classes, sticky notes that scream "DON'T TELL HER," and the mounting realisation that love, much like the lottery, is a game of absurd odds and even weirder rules.

Perfect for fans of David Nicholls, Nick Hornby, and anyone who's ever fantasised about winning big but still being too emotionally constipated to know what to do with it.

Because sometimes, the jackpot isn't the millions. It's the one person you'd spend it all to win back.
