<p><strong>*The deliciously entertaining new novel from the award-winning writer and comedian, MARK WATSON*</strong></p><p><strong>'Funny and thought-provoking' ADAM HILLS</strong></p><p><strong>'A heartwarming story of happenstance' <em>iPAPER</em></strong></p><p><strong>–––––––––––––––</strong></p>

<p>For delivery rider Damir, time is money.</p><p>He races through cycle lanes next to Uber drivers and grocery vans, delivering your every desire. He arrives with your sushi rolls and pizzas and disappears into the night – Ping! Onto the next drop.</p><p>He is invisible: one player in the boardgame of the city.</p><p>But one summer’s evening, in a postcode that could be another universe, Damir arrives on Decca’s doorstep and there’s an immediate connection between them.</p><p>The man on the bike crosses the divide – suddenly fully seen. And a throwaway delivery sparks a chain of events that will change all their lives, forever.</p><p><strong><em>Praise for Mark Watson:</em></strong></p><p>'One of my favourite writers’ Adam Kay</p><p>‘Funny, heart wrenching, beautifully written’ Jane Fallon</p><p>'Funny and serious and daring and humane. I prefer Mark Watson to Leo Tolstoy – both as a novelist and a stand-up comedian' Richard Curtis</p>
