'Funny, moving and thought-provoking - I loved this' Clare Mackintosh
'If you loved Eleanor Oliphant, try this brilliant new read' Fabulous

The most uplifting story of the summer - about Andrew, who has forgotten how to live, and Peggy, who helps him remember...

-------------------------

MEET ANDREW.

Everybody likes Andrew. But they don't really know him.

They know what he's told them - that he's happily married with two kids. Living the kind of life that's either so boring it's true, or so perfect it's a lie . . .

ENTER PEGGY.

Peggy arrives in Andrew's life in a burst of kindness and possibility. For the first time in ages, Andrew feels alive again. So now that he has everything to lose, can he risk it all and tell Peggy the truth?

A big-hearted story about love, loneliness, and the importance of taking a chance when we feel we have the most to lose.

I loved this novel with my whole heart.
Endearing and delightful. (Nina Pottell)
This perfect, quirky summer page-turner... a life-affirming debut. (Sharmaine Lovegrove)
This is a story that gets under your skin - and a must read. (Natasha Harding)
A wonderful debut that's heartbreaking, uplifting and laugh-out-loud funny... an inspiring, life-affirming read. (Zoe West)
Something To Live For is a heart-warming, funny yet poignant debut novel. Exploring loneliness and family breakdown, Richard Roper has created a cast of colourful and weirdly wonderful characters. An uplifting and life-affirming read. (Anne Cater)
Eleanor Oliphant for men (David Sexton)
This could almost be the tie-in novel for a Richard Curtis romcom... Something To Live For benefits from the same earnest charm. (Thomas Barrie)
Richard Roper's debut is heart-breaking, uplifting, funny and brimming with human kindness.
It's no surprise that TV rights to this funny, tender and all-the-feels book have already been snapped up. (Sarra Manning)
A wonderful debut that's heartbreaking, uplifting and laugh-out-loud funny all at once.
A sweetly poignant debut. (Eithne Farry)
A poignant but uplifting novel that's related with great compassion and humour. (Fanny Blake)
Endearing. (Patricia Nicol)
A poignant, superbly funny debut novel about love, loneliness and the many ways life doesn't always go to plan.
Funny, moving and thought-provoking - I loved this.
Tender, funny, compelling - this wonderful book deserves to be huge! (Lucy Foley, author of THE HUNTING PARTY)
Like everyone else, I completely fell under its spell. It pulls you in, makes you laugh and breaks your heart - in short, does everything that you want a novel to do. Every character is round and real - from dear old Andrew, through the wonderful Peggy - oh, Peggy! - to the anonymous woman in the cloud of perfume who lives downstairs. While it is very much in the David Nicholls' tradition of sympathetic quirk and comedy, it is, at the same time, so fresh and different. I loved the voice, the people, the world..... Who couldn't? What an extraordinary debut.
Just finished Something To Live For with tears running down my cheeks. Heart-breaking. Hilarious. Life-affirming. Some descriptions of loneliness took my breath away. This book deserves to be HUGE.
Warmed my heart, broke it a little, then put it back together (Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of the THE FLATSHARE)
Nick Hornby and David Nicholls' quirky love child would write like Richard Roper. Something to Live For is endearing, funny and life-affirming, with a perfect dose of loneliness and human kindness (Caroline Smailes)
Funny, moving and uplifting... I loved it.
