Overview
"Beautifully constructed and hugely moving. Deserves to be a smash hit."—Lissa Evans, author of Crooked Heart
The A to Z game. For Ivo, it's a way to pass the time, a way to avoid the pain, and a way to think about what really got him here.
His hospice nurse suggested it. Think of a body part for each letter, and think of memories connected to each one. And so begins the revealing of his misspent life: the terrible teenage choices, friendships made and cracked, love he'll never get back. He remembers the girl who tried to help him, the friend who wouldn't let her, and the sickness that chases him even now. Refreshing and thought-provoking, The A to Z of You and Me shows the raw unraveling of a life lived loud and hard.
All our choices have consequences. But what happens after?
“Compassionate."—The Independent
“Wonderfully quirky and contemporary."—The Guardian
“Devastating."—Sunday Times

"Hannah's debut is a humor-filled tear-at-the-heartstrings story... the urge to hug and simultaneously shake Ivo for the poor decisions he makes, and for the way he learns, loves, and forgives make this expertly crafted story a winner." — Publishers Weekly
"Ivo's tale may resonate with readers of Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Gabrielle Zevin's The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry... this debut novel rings with an unsparing clarity and ultimate honesty." — Library Journal
