This was a really enjoyable, fairly light-hearted read.  Andrew is only in his early 40s but living like a much older person, a dark and dreary flat, no friends and an unusual job sorting out pauper's funerals for people dying without any family or friends.  His colleagues, however, believe he is married with kids and living in a four bedroom detached...

As we find out more about the lies he told, and then the reasons why, Andrew becomes ever more likeable and someone we all want to take home and hug!

An easy read, but one that gets you thinking and makes you realise that we are all potentially one or two decisions away from loneliness or despair.
