'This brilliant book is so perceptive about dating and yearning and falling in and out of love in your late twenties. It’s also a very, very funny novel about death, which isn’t an easy feat'. Bobby Palmer 'Witty, moving and eminently readable, Nearly Departed is the millennial Truly Madly Deeply we’ve all been waiting for'. Mike Gayle 'Utterly charming and hilarious' Jack Rooke 'Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, Nearly Departed is charming, gripping and seamless. A pitch-perfect and wildly original London rom-com in the vein of David Nicholls, Dolly Alderton and Richard Curtis: I couldn't get enough' Francesca Reece 'A sweet, sometimes spiky rom-com that takes in the stickiness and complexity of grief... Joel is an appealingly haphazard, relatably confused protagonist, trying his best to deal with life kicking him in the shins — and his dead ex offering him dating advice... some wise words along the way' The Times 'Lucas Oakeley's debut novel is a sweet, sometimes spiky rom-com that takes in the stickiness and complexity of grief, and how to cope with the surprisingly solid manifestation of your lover' Sunday Times
