When Jane, Edward Middleton’s girlfriend of ten years, announces that she’s dumping him to go off<br />
travelling to ‘find herself’, his world is turned upside down. ‘It’s not me, it’s you,’ she tells him. ‘You’ve<br />
let yourself go. So I’m letting you go too.’<br />
Edward’s shocked by the fact that Jane’s gone, but stunned by the fact that she’s right. Whatever<br />
happened to the good-looking man-about-town he used to be? Determined to win her back, he knows<br />
he’s got to do something, and fast. Jane’s back in three months, so it’s time to stop moping, and start<br />
coping.<br />
It’s not that women don’t like Edward. Quite the opposite, in fact, but just not in that way. He has to<br />
find out how to make women fancy him again – if he’s to be Jane’s Mr Right, he needs to turn himself<br />
into a bit of all right.<br />
Advised along the way by best friend and serial womanizer Dan, Edward struggles to get to grips with<br />
the twenty-first-century dating scene, discovering pretty soon that the battle of the sexes isn’t a fair<br />
fight. And so begins his self-improvement odyssey; through Atkins, Botox, cosmetic dentistry,<br />
exercise...<br />
Finally, the three months are up. Has Edward managed the transformation from cuddly Teddy to sexy<br />
Eddie, and if so, will he be able to win Jane back? Or has his journey of self-discovery taken him in a<br />
different direction entirely?<br />
Matt Dunn recently returned to live in the UK from Malaga, where, having sold a recruitment agency,<br />
he wrote a weekly humour column for the main English-language newspaper in Spain. As a young<br />
man he was the UK National Lifesaving Champion and a member of the English Swimming Squad.<br />
Great fun, eloquent, good-looking, Matt Dunn is set to be an exciting new voice in the commercial<br />
fiction arena.<br />
