Publisher's Summary

Pat Peoples knows that life doesn’t always go according to plan, but he’s determined to get his back on track. After a stint in a psychiatric hospital, Pat is staying with his parents and trying to live according to his new philosophy: get fit, be nice and always look for the silver lining.

Most importantly, Pat is determined to be reconciled with his wife Nikki. Pat’s parents just want to protect him so he can get back on his feet, but when Pat befriends the mysterious Tiffany, the secrets they’ve been keeping from him threaten to come out.

Some loose ends..?

Brilliantly written book and wonderfully narrated. Best narrator I've come across so far.

Such a unique story from a really interesting perspective. Kept me hooked the whole way through!

I felt some loose ends were left untied though, which bugs me, but still a great story.

Highly recommended!!

Silverlining, abit too drawn out

Great narration. But the plot felt fragmented... a rare case of I think I preferred the film!
