In this novel that is set in the U.K., we follow two love birds Jim and Alison through a friendship, romance and break-up as they each tell their own side of the story. Jim and Allison first meet at a party for freshers (beginning university students). Mike Gayle captures both the male and female voices perfectly and fashions a tale that has you vacillating between feeling for Alison, while still wishing Jim well. Brought back together by the death of a jointly shared cat, Jim and Alison have both gone on with their lives, but are driven to reflect on their relationship and its demise.
"His `n Hers" is an intriguing read that will be enjoyed by men and women alike. (From quoting a guest reviewer, USA)

From publisher
From their first meeting at the student union over a decade ago, Jim and Alison successfully navigated their way through first dates, meeting parents, moving in together and more! Then they split up and divided their worldly goods (including a sofa, a cat and their flat) into his 'n' hers. Now, three years on and with new lives and new loves, they couldn't be happier. Until a chance encounter throws them back together, and causes them to embark on a journey through their past to ask themselves the big question: where did it all go wrong, and is it too late to put it all right?

HIS N' HERS is the story of Jim and Alison, two individuals who meet in college and fall in love under the most unusual of circumstances. In this book, we get both sides of their stories written in two unique styles. Every detail of their lives for 10+ years is written in great detail and you sort of feel like your eavesdropping or reading someone's diary.
Taken place in London, we begin with the first time they meet at a college party for freshmen. Jim immediately develops a crush on Alison, but she has her heart set on Damien - who later becomes her boyfriend. As time goes on, Alison learns more about Jim and finds herself falling for this peculiar character. While she maintains her relationship with Damien, she realizes its not meant to be and finds a way to break it off with him and wind up with Jim. From then on we take a ride on the emotional rollercoaster that is their life. We watch them grow, become closer and develop a relationship that many only dream about.
Eventually, one of them has a change of heart and their relationship is over just like that. But, years down the line an unfortunate occurrence brings them back together. Though both have moved on, this time together gives them the opportunity to reflect on their relationship and where they went wrong.
