A tender and funny story about wanting to go back - when you know
it's time to move on. --------- Theo has been living in his
parents' shed, nursing a broken heart and a wounded ego, convinced
life can't get any worse. Then he gets evicted on his 30th
birthday. Theo thinks he's done with the real world - until it
shows up on his doorstep... Joel is a successful TV scriptwriter,
still in love with his teenage sweetheart. A proper grown-up - and
yet he's falling apart at the seams. He's headed home to reconnect
with best friend Theo - except they haven't spoken since the summer
they turned 16. One of them is keeping a secret, and the other is
living a lie. But can the promise they once made to walk all 184
miles of the Thames Path help them find their way back to the truth
- and to their friendship? --------- Your favourite authors have
