Description
'Beautifully written, thought-provoking and completely charming' Ruth Hogan
Ever since The Incident, James DeWitt has stayed on the safe side.
He likes to know what happens next.
Danny Allen is not on the safe side. He is more past the point of no return.
But it's funny the way life is sometimes. Just when you think you know how everything is, it surprises you.
And redemption can come in the most unlikely forms . . .
Warm, witty and wise, Mike Gayle's new novel is a powerful story of male friendship and what we mean by success, reminding us of the simple courage at the heart of every human life.

Hi :) This is my first review ever written, but I'd like to include this into my habits, so maybe you care, if not, just go ahead. It was a real pleasure to read this book. I bought this book just out of pure curiosity. As I bought it, the only thing I knew about it was the title and the reviews it recieved in this app. I started the book, without even knowing what it was all about, and let me tell you what pleasure it was to read it. At first, I had some trouble getting behind the story of Danny Allen and James De Witt, but as soon as I got into it, I just loved it from the beginning to the end. James and Danny meet in a care home, where James is about to spend his next two weeks, as his parents are on a vacation. James needs to be taken care of since "The Incident", since when he is suffering from an ABI (acquired brain injury). The funny thing is, James and Danny know each other, and even though Danny does not want to admit this in the beginning, he eventually confesses that he indeed knows James as well. Both remember the old times, and an in the beginning very stupid idea coming from James, will turn into one of the most beautiful friendship that ever existed for both of them. Heartwarming, moodlifting and just beautifully written, "The Man I Think I Know" quickly turned out to be the best book to beginn my reading challenge of 2021.
