Male fiction in a new cool yet sensitive, funny but serious, moving and unforgettable. Charlie is a man with problems. He's not a man who should be getting married, but it's too late. The ceremony is in five days' time. His job as a journalist for a men's magazine has enabled him to live the male dream and drift from one reckless moment to the next, mainly fuelled by drink and drugs. But all that's about to change. Too late, he realises that he can't handle the responsibility of marriage, the responsibility of a job or the responsibilities of friendship. Something's got to give and give it does, on the day of the wedding and in spectacular, jaw-dropping style. Charlie's self-destruction is complete - he makes a fool of himself, loses the best chance of a loving relationship he's ever had and is forced into rehab by his worried parents. However, there are lights shining at the end of the tunnel - his grandmother is a solid and grounding presence in his life and his best mate, the long-suffering Ray, won't ever desert him. Can Charlie gather his wits and pull off a recovery? Can he resurrect a relationship with his former fiancee? And most important of all, can he manage to grow up before it's too late?
