A funny, insightful contemporary comic novel about relationships, self-sabotage, and the pop-obsessed mind of a man stuck in emotional adolescence.

Rob Fleming knows more about classic albums than he does about real relationships. When his girlfriend Laura walks out, he spirals into a soundtrack-fuelled audit of his romantic failures, revisiting old breakups as if they’re tracks on a mixtape. Between running his barely surviving record shop and arguing with his music-snob employees, Rob starts to confront the uncomfortable truth: the problem might not be the women who left him, but the man he’s become.

Witty, self-deprecating and sharply observed, High Fidelity is a heartfelt comedy about love, growing up late, and the stories we tell ourselves to avoid changing. Perfect for anyone who’s ever used music as a map to the heart.
