A high concept love story with a twist from one of the smartest, funniest, wittiest writers around.

Tom got a note from his girlfriend. It says she hasn't left him, but she's gone.

But where the hell is she? When is she coming back? And what is Tom supposed to do in the meantime?

With each new clue to Hayley’s whereabouts, Tom is forced to question whether he truly knows his girlfriend at all. Because who is Hayley really, anyway? Who is this other strange girl following him?

And who, for that matter, is Tom Ditto?

WILLIAM BOYD

Who is Tom Ditto? is Danny Wallace at his very best: funny, assured and relentlessly clever. A brilliant novel

JOHN NIVEN

Praise for Who is Tom Ditto? - a high concept love story with a mystery at its heart: An air of mystery and of a past being reconstructed, with a booster shot of comedy…As you would expect from the author of Awkward Situations for Men, the toe-curling embarrassment of much of Tom’s life is well realised

STYLIST

Danny is as hilarious as ever

SHORTLIST

Danny Wallace’s beguiling second novel seduces the reader by stealth with some laugh-out-loud throwaway pieces of astute observational comedy…Wallace probes real issues about what makes us who we are in the internet age. It’s the kind of book you have to ration to avoid it being over too quickly

A funny, clever novel from the award-winning writer

MARIE CLAIRE

Chortlesome

BELLA

A deep story with a consistently grounded humour

EMERALD STREET
