Would a proper adult take three years to post a solitary Christmas card?
Would a proper adult have decades-old underwear in active service?
Mike Gayle is nowhere near being a proper adult - even though his tenth wedding anniversary is looming; his second child is due any moment; and in less than twenty-four hours he is going to be officially closer to forty than he is to thirty.
Appalled by this lack of maturity, Mike draws up a To-Do list containing every single item he's been meaning to do but just keeps putting off...
He's got a lot of stuff that needs doing. But unlike previous To-Do lists, he promises himself that this one will actually get DONE. And along the way, Mike will learn stuff about life (323), love (999), friends (1004) and family (9) and finally work out what it means to be a grown up (846).

Brilliantly funny * <i>Daily Mail</i> * I gave this to my chick-lit reader not realising it was non-fiction. She loved it, quite fell for Mike and was inspired to make her own list. I tell you this to reassure you his fiction fans will love it. * Sarah Broadhurst, <i>Bookseller</i> * An observant offering * <i>Heat</i> on WISH YOU WERE HERE * This has the makings of another Mike Gayle classic, a spot on, easy beach read. Just add sangria. * <i> Independent</i> on WISH YOU WERE HERE * More insights into the male psyche... fans will love it * <i>Cosmopolitan</i> on BRAND NEW FRIEND * The male Bridget Jones * <i>Express</i> on MY LEGENDARY GIRLFRIEND * Gayle's chatty style sustains a cracking pace * <i>The Times</i> on MR COMMITMENT * Mike Gayle has carved a whole new literary niche out of the male confessional novel.

Person
Mike became a full-time novelist in 1997 following the publication of his Sunday Times top ten bestseller My Legendary Girlfriend, which was hailed by the Independent as 'full of belly laughs and painfully acute observations', and by The Times as 'a funny, frank account of a hopeless romantic'. Since then he has written eighteen novels, including The Man I Think I Know, selected as a World Book Night title, and Half A World Away, selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club. His books have been translated into more than thirty languages. In 2021, Mike was the recipient of the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Romantic Novelists' Association.
He lives in Birmingham with his wife, kids and greyhound. You can find him online at mikegayle.co.uk and on Twitter @mikegayle.
